Two mental health drop-in centers serving residents affected by the deadly 2025 Eaton and Palisades fires will be open Wednesday and continue operating through June after Los Angeles County officials announced the extension.

The Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, in partnership with the state’s CalHOPE program, said the centers will remain open to provide counseling and support for residents displaced or otherwise impacted by the fires.

The fires, which erupted in January 2025, in Pacific Palisades and Altadena, killed at least 31 people, destroyed about 16,000 structures and displaced thousands of residents.

“LACDMH and its partners offer a broad range of services, including individual and family counseling, crisis stabilization, support groups, case management, wellness activities, and linkage to other resources,” the department said in a statement.

The walk-in centers operate from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, at 540 W. Woodbury Road in Altadena and 15247 La Cruz Drive in Pacific Palisades.

A fire support line is also available at 833-659-0600, allowing residents to speak with a mental health professional, officials said.

The services are funded through a federal emergency response grant.
