Recovering from Terrorist Acts: Strategies to Aid the Public Health Professional and Agency

What? A live, interactive, satellite teleconference

When?  Thursday, October 11, 2001 from 1:30 pm ñ 3:00 pm EDT

Who? Sponsored by The Florida Center for Public Health Preparedness at the University of South Florida College of Public Health and our partners the Florida Department of Health, the USF Center for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance, and the Traumatology Institute at USF

Why?  Acts of terrorism threaten and often paralyze a society by instilling fear of harm and evoking helplessness.  As a result, individuals and organizations may feel as if they are being held in emotional hostage. The aim of this program is to aid the public health professional and agency in recovering from the acute stress and trauma of terrorism by offering strategies and interventions for helping self, agency, clients, and community.  Through active dialogue among panelists and program participants, an expert panel will provide an overview of the psychosocial impact of the trauma of terrorism on society and its citizens, and offer strategies for recovering from traumatic events.
