Our Mission:
The mission of the 9-11 Forward is to provide specialized evaluation of the ongoing mental health recovery needs and to provide essential support services to people directly impacted by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Children who lost family members, their parent(s), extended family members and 9/11 responders and their families are the focus of our ongoing counseling programs. Activities are designed to support children’s and adults’ resilience and coping skills and to strengthen family bonds.
On September 11, 2001, South Nassau Communities Hospital responded to the need to support those affected by the attacks on the World Trade Towers. On September 29, 2001 a fully dedicated 9/11 specialized program, under the direction of Thomas Demaria, Ph.D., Assistant Vice President of Behavioral Health Services, opened its doors. Its aim was to provide crisis counseling and education to anyone affected by the attacks. All services are confidential and free of charge.
Homeground is a second program supported by SNCH and staffed by licensed mental health professionals with significant disaster experience. This program has the mission of providing counseling and psycho-educational services to rescue and recovery workers who served in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks and their family members. Information about HOMEGROUND may be found at www.HomeGround.org .
