UNITED STATES California (Los Angeles) – Wildfires • Wildfires in the Los Angeles area caused widespread evacuations, destruction of homes, and severe environmental damage. Beyond the material losses, these events had a profound psychological impact on affected communities, generating stress, uncertainty, and trauma among residents. • PACE collaborated with the New Center for Psychoanalysis to organize two online seminars on brief psychoanalytic interventions in emergencies and a work discussion group. These activities were open to professionals from the region and internationally, with around 150 participants.
