LOS ANGELES, CA (August 2025) - The Los Angeles County Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (MVA) is proud to announce the launch of a transformative new mental health initiative providing immediate, proactive, and stigma-free emotional support to veterans across the region. 

Developed in partnership with Happy: Frictionless Mental Health, Precise Behavioral, and The Reality Center, this countywide program connects veterans directly to free emotional support, telehealth therapy, and in-person sensory wellness - without delays, complicated systems, or eligibility restrictions. 

“It is extremely hard for veterans to ask for help, so when they do, we need to be able to get them help within hours or a day or two,” said Director Jim Zenner, LCSW. “Thanks to our partners and the L.A. County Quality and Productivity Commission, this program ensures that support is immediate and accessible.” 

Veterans can access the program in multiple ways: 

• Direct Intake Link for Veterans (Fastest): Complete the secure intake form for self-referral here: https://wkf.ms/3HRqdQ7 
• VPAN Peer Referral: Peer Specialists at VPAN can refer veterans through the VPAN Service Request Form here: https://wkf.ms/4nBr47R 
• For more information or for more urgent referrals, please contact the Program Manager, Kristan Toth at kristan@frictionlessmentalhealth.com or call/text: 858-367-3001.

DYNAMIC DISCIPLES | Let us gather every 1st Saturday of the month to discover, explore and live more fully the love Jesus offers in the light of our world's current pandemic. If you'd like to join our small group, click here to contact us for our meeting information or call the Parish Office            323-656-4433. 

Discipleship is a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ, both in spirit and in His mystical body, the Church. As we grow in our relationship with Jesus, we become more aware of His love for us, and we grow in love for others. Through this overflowing love, we lead others to find their own relationship with God - all are welcome!

Scripture Sharing | Every Wednesday at 7:30 pm, we gather virtually for our Scripture Study Ministry. Each gathering consists of a short presentation on the coming Sunday's readings, followed by small group discussion on how this Word touches and affects us personally. If you would like to join our small group, click here to contact us for our meeting information (currently virtual) or call the Parish Office 323-656-4433. Donations are welcome!
