Wednesday, October 22nd - 12:00pm EST
Join us as Special Master Allison Turkel and Deputy Special Master Nicole P. Smith provide updates on the VCF including the number of pending cases.
This will be followed by an expert panel who will discuss the continuing challenges of providing proof of presence and other difficulties the 9/11 Community faces when attempting to receive compensation for illnesses resulting from exposure to toxic air.
Voices Center for Resilience provides long-term support that promotes mental health care and wellness for victims' families, survivors, and responders—offering monthly peer support groups, educational webinars, and an annual Symposium. VOICES shares lessons learned to assist communities in preparing for and responding to other tragedies.
* Please note: This webinar is intended for Survivors and Responders. It addresses the reauthorization of the VCF that provides financial compensation for Survivors and Responders who were physically harmed by their exposure to toxins on 9/11 at the World Trade Center, Shanksville, and the Pentagon.
