Trauma counseling for CFT members impacted by the LA fires
At last count over 200 CFT members have suffered damaged or lost homes from the LA fires, with many more having been forced to evacuate alongside tens of thousands of others in the community.
For those CFT members who have been impacted by the fires, there is an important resource available to you through our national union, the AFT, which provides all active, working members with counseling if they are injured or traumatized by natural disasters like fires.
This invaluable benefit offers one-to-one counseling sessions with a licensed therapist with a master’s degree or higher who has advanced training in post-traumatic incident recovery. To access this resource, go to the member benefits portal on the AFT website.

The CFT has set up a Disaster Relief Fund for our members who have suffered catastrophic losses due to natural disasters.
If you are able, please consider donating to this Disaster Relief Fund set up specifically for CFT members. Contributions of any amount will go a long way in helping our union siblings get through a crisis. It is this spirit of collective action during crises that defines our communities.
