How to Support Friends Displaced by Fires: What to Do (and Not to Do)

When someone you care about has been displaced or lost their home due to a fire, your support can make a big difference. Here’s how to genuinely show up for them, without unintentionally adding stress:

What to Do:

✅ Reach out. A simple “I’m thinking of you” can go a long way. Call or send a message to let them know you’re there, and ask, “Do you need anything right now?”

✅ Ask about long-term concerns. Beyond the immediate crisis, many people are anxious about rebuilding, finances, or stability. Ask open-ended questions like, “What’s worrying you most about the next few months?”

✅ Be a listener. Sometimes, the best support is letting them vent or process without offering solutions. Just being a calm, compassionate presence can be incredibly comforting.

✅ Offer practical help. If you’re in a position to help, offer something specific: a meal, temporary housing, or childcare. Even small gestures can ease their load.

✅ Check in regularly. Support isn’t a one-time thing. Fires leave lasting impacts, so ongoing check-ins can remind them they’re not alone.

What Not to Do:

❌ Don’t remind them it could be worse. Comments like “At least you’re safe” or “Some people lost everything” can feel dismissive. While well-meaning, they minimize what they’re going through.

❌ Avoid unsolicited advice. Unless they ask, resist the urge to offer solutions like “The SBA will help” or “Have you looked into XYZ?” Often, people just need empathy, not fixes.

❌ Don’t compare struggles. Even if you’ve been through something similar, avoid centering the conversation on your own experiences. Focus on their situation and feelings.

Supporting friends in a crisis means meeting them where they are and prioritizing their needs over your instinct to solve or console. Thoughtful listening and tangible actions can make a world of difference—and help you avoid being that friend.

Thanks to DopaMind again for helping make the connection between executive function skills and device readiness. Given that most kids will struggle with these skills until their frontal lobe is fully developed around age 25, it’s no wonder that the age recommendations for devices are now closer to 16-18!

Book club, part one! We read Johnathan Haidt’s “The Anxious Generation.” Discussions included topics like “freeplay,” “gardener parenting vs. helicopter parenting,” “failure to launch,” “community connection,” and “screen usage and its effects on society.”

In the face of hatred, silence is complicity. Education is the first step to action.

Take time today to educate yourself. Watch “We Will Dance Again” on Paramount+ and attend the Nova exhibit in Los Angeles to reflect on the events of October 7. Link to tickets in stories.
