The Volunteering Page of KRISTI PINOCCHIO

Coming out of the COVID-19 crisis, JMMF recognized and aligned with health experts that correctly predicted that mental health issues would be the next wave of the pandemic. While isolation, quarantine and “stay at home” orders were hard on the general population, our healthcare workers suffered even greater trauma while treating patients under arduous conditions, resulting in a dramatic spike in mental health issues including anxiety, depression (MDD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), nightmares, flashbacks, mental and emotional burnout and suicidal ideation – the same symptoms we regularly witness from combat veterans involved in war.

JMMF currently works with Torrance Memorial Medical Center and the Providence Little Company of Mary.

Upon signing in, Volunteers will help to gather the boards, and other necessary gear to the beach from the parking lot.

JMMF will have a water station, snacks, and sunscreen at the tent and lunch will be provided, however if there are nutritional requirements please bring your food with you.
