VOICES 18th Annual
Day of Remembrance Information Forum
Reflecting, Remembering, and
Inspiring a Resilient Community
Tuesday, September 10, 2019
On the eve of the Anniversary, VOICES hosted our 18th Annual Day of Remembrance Information Forum: Reflecting, Remembering, and Inspiring a Resilient Community. The event provided 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 provided updates on treatment for medical and mental health conditions. Legal experts and victims’ advocates discussed victim compensation programs and progress made on the September 11th litigation. Clinicians with decades of professional experience shared their expertise about mental health treatment and building strength and resiliency.
A very special thank you to our sponsors - Motley Rice; Turken, Heath and McCauley; Kreindler & Kreindler; the FealGood Foundation and Barasch & McGarry whose generosity made our annual events possible. Thanks to the dozens of individuals who contributed to the program, including our presenters and volunteers from Goldman Sachs and National Debt Relief.
