How to utilize this service

Call (213) 740-7711 and ask to speak to the facilitator of the group you are interested in joining. The facilitator will set up an appointment with you for a screening. This is a 30 minute meeting where you will learn more about the group and decide with the facilitators if it is the best “fit” for you. Some groups, such as Peace with Food and Body Image, may require that you also have an intake appointment.

If you are not sure what group you might be interested in, call and ask to speak with Robin Ward – the group counseling coordinator. She may be able to help you figure out which group best fits your needs.
