Mental health collaborative tackles fire-related trauma in Sonoma County [pressdemocrat.com]

When a North Bay fire survivor walks into her private practice office, Santa Rosa psychologist Alisa Liguori Stratton never presumes to know exactly what they’re going through.

Liguori Stratton, who lost the Fountaingrove home where she and her family lived, has a pretty good idea of the type of post-fire trauma many are suffering, whether they lost a home or not. But the experience — the 15 minutes she and her family had to flee their home, the loss of everything they own — is not a type of cheat sheet that informs her practice.

Instead, it fuels her commitment to address the wide-ranging and long-lasting emotional and psychological impact of last year’s fires. Liguori Stratton is part of the Wildfire Mental Health Collaborative, a new initiative aimed at tackling Sonoma County’s long-term mental health recovery needs.
