VOICES 18th Annual
Day of Remembrance Information Forum
Reflecting, Remembering, and
Inspiring a Resilient Community
Tuesday, September 10, 2019
Join us on Tuesday, September 10 for VOICES 18th Annual Information Forum, a day-long program with insightful presentations, panel discussions and peer-to-peer opportunities designed to promote healing and resilience. The event provides an opportunity for 9/11 families, survivors, responders and those who continue to support them to gather for an informative program in advance of the anniversary. Family members of those who have died of 9/11-related illnesses are encouraged to attend.
As in years past, representatives from the World Trade Center Health Program will provide updates on treatment for medical and mental health conditions. Legal experts and victims’ advocates will discuss victim compensation programs and progress made on the September 11th litigation. Clinicians with decades of professional experience will also share their expertise about mental health treatment and building strength and resiliency.
The 9/11 Memorial has generously offered complimentary tickets to visit the Museum following the Forum.
