For responders, survivors, and so many 9/11 community members, the mental health trauma experienced in the aftermath of the attacks became a catalyst to share lessons learned with others who have since experienced tragedy. In conversation with Museum Director Clifford Chanin, HEART 9/11 President & Founder and retired PAPD Lt. Bill Keegan, Newtown, CT Police Sgt. Scott Ruszczyk, Danbury, CT Police Det. Sgt. Amity LaFantano, Chief of Mental Health at the Miami VA Healthcare System, Dr. Spencer Eth, and Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Dr. Jonathan DePierro, will discuss the evolution of mental health care and resilience-building for first responders and communities in crisis since 2001.
