VOICES 2016 NYC Symposium
Our thanks to those who joined us for a day of clinically informed presentations from leading researchers and clinicians working in the field of trauma. Topics included compassion fatigue, mitigating secondary traumatic stress, identifying the long-term needs of victim's families, group treatment modalities, mental health considerations, and best practices in responding to and recovering from traumatic events. The daylong symposium educated mental health professionals, victims' services, emergency managers, law enforcement, and other community stakeholders.
VOICES hosted our 15th Annual Day of Remembrance Information Forum on the eve of this milestone anniversary. The day-long event provided an opportunity for 9/11 families, responders, survivors and those who supported them to gather together as a community. This year, we are especially honored that Dr. Charles Figley and Dr. Kathy Regan Figley presented the keynote address, "Building Resilience to Compassion Fatigue."
A special thank you to the dedicated professionals who took the time out of their busy schedules to participate our Annual September Events.
