Tomorrow marks the 2nd anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombings. We remember the victims, those who were injured or survived and their families who were also impacted on that tragic day. The powerful resilience shown by so many immediately after the event, and two years later, is testimony to the strength of the Boston community - and to the resilience of the human spirit.
All of us at VOICES are looking forward to seeing many of you at our Resiliency Symposium on Friday, April 3rd.

Join Voices of September 11th for VOICES Center of Excellence for Community Resilience Symposium: Promoting Resiliency in Communities Impacted by Trauma: Identification and Treatment of Long-Term Needs.
Do we get over it? Do we get on with it? What is grieving? How do we transform traumatic loss into an enduring presence that we use for connection and healing? Against the backdrop of traumatic impact, Dr. Suzanne B. Phillips will invite us to recognize that the road from trauma to hope and healing is neither predictable nor time-sensitive.
What are the long-term implications for families who have experienced trauma? How do stories about tragedy and remembrances of those who have been lost get weaved into the narrative of a child's family legacy? What are the mind-body connections that help one understand the intimate relationship of the mind and body, and how do we tap into these tools to optimize our health?
