On September 9 and 10, VOICES hosted its 2-day virtual symposium featuring presentations by leading experts working in the fields of mental health, trauma and resilience, as well as legal and medical professionals who discussed issues that are important to the 9/11 community. This year's online event, Pathways to Resilience During Unpredictable Times, presented a new opportunity to engage over 900 people - from over 30 countries - as well as those working with communities impacted by other traumatic events worldwide.

 

Be sure to watch our 19th Anniversary Candle Lighting Ceremony, Stories of Resilience, and VOICES tribute to the legacies of Lou Alvarez and Ray Pfeifer.

VOICES is launching a series of bereavement workshops for grieving individuals whose loved one died as a result of the terrorist attacks on 9/11, or other acts of mass violence, including those who have died due to 9/11-related illnesses.

 

Each workshop will include skills development, self-reflection exercise and opportunities for Q+A with the presenter.

 

Workshops will occur on Wednesday evenings from 7:00pm to 8:15pm EST and will focus on various topics. The first in our series is this Wednesday:

 

 

Followed by:

November 4, 2020 - Grief and the Holidays

December 9, 2020 - Making Meaning in the Face of Loss and Grief

January 6, 2021 - Building Resilience After Loss

 

The workshops have been generously sponsored and will be offered free of charge. Space is limited, and registration is required. Participants have the option of registering for one or all the workshops.
