As a part of a recent strategy the Department of Public Health has adopted to increase opportunities for healing and social connection, our office is planning a series of Youth Mental Summits throughout LA County. The summits are part of our initiative to provide more learning opportunities for young people to become mental health advocates. Youth attendees will learn to recognize common mental health challenges; identify and develop strategies to create a supportive network in their homes, schools, and communities; and participate in a community resource and activity fair with local mental health partners. Additionally, youth will partake in mindfulness practices, hear from county leaders, and leave with tangible mental health guides, workbooks, and tools. Sessions will be facilitated by staff from DMH, DPH, Teenline (a program of Didi Hirsch), the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and more. Youth attendees will also each receive 5 community service hours, a certificate of completion signed by DPH Leadership, and a $25 gift card.
I am excited to share that we will be holding our summit for Supervisorial District 3 youth at El Cariso Regional Community Park on Saturday April 27.

Metro has a plan to make it easier to get around.

Please join us this spring for in-person and virtual meetings that will focus on the monorail alternatives and gather feedback about the possible elimination of Alternative 2.

The men and women of your Los Angeles Fire Department warmly welcome you to visit an LAFD Fire Station on Saturday, May 11, 2024, between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
The second Saturday of each May is designated as “Fire Service Day” in the City of Los Angeles – a citywide open firehouse celebration, when we plan and prepare for your visit to a Neighborhood Fire Station.
This year, our theme is “Celebrating Community Resilience”, with a focus on strengthening the connections that benefit our entire community in times of crisis.
We’re eager to have you spend part of you day with us on Saturday, May 11, to learn about our team, tools and training – but more importantly, for us to learn of your needs and concerns regarding emergency response and disaster preparedness.
While all LAFD Neighborhood Fire Stations ** will be welcoming your visit between 10 AM and 4 PM on Saturday, May 11, 2024, the following Focal Sites will also offer special LAFD displays and demonstrations, as well as introduce this year’s four Honorary Fire Chiefs:

Central Bureau Focal Site: Fire Station 12 (Highland Park) MAP
South Bureau Focal Site: Fire Station 112 (San Pedro Waterfront) MAP
Valley Bureau Focal Site: Fire Station 88 (Sherman Oaks) MAP
West Bureau Focal Site: Fire Station 69 (Pacific Palisades) MAP

**NOTE: Because Fire Stations 51, 80 and 114 are located on secure airport grounds, they regretfully cannot be open to the public.
Some LAFD Stations will be offering special food, entertainment and more. View their Fire Service Day event flyers:

Fire Station 86 (Studio City / Toluca Lake)
