Disasters like that of 9/11 have very specific implications for
uniformed service personnel, who as first responders, bear the
responsibility for rescue and recovery. In this presentation,
spokespeople for the Fire Dept., Police, Emergency Medical Services
and the Military Services will consider the unique issues specific
to their
cultures that bear on the definition and response to trauma as well
as the nature and timing of interventions for mental health needs.
Participants will have the opportunity to share in identifying
critical dimensions that affect the viability of intervention
strategies for uniformed service personnel.
