It is nearly one year since the terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon. As September 11 approaches, the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps Readiness Force will host an interactive teleconference focusing on mental health issues first responders and health care providers must deal with not only during but also long after major disaster response operations.
A distinguished panel will address various aspects of this important topic, engage in a dialogue with the studio audience and respond to phone, fax and e-mail questions.

How to View the Broadcast
There are two ways you can view this program:
- You can watch the program broadcast at an “open” downlink viewing site that may be able to accommodate you.
Possible hosts for open downlink sites are:- State and local professional associations;
- State and local health departments;
- Local hospitals and fire and rescue stations.
- You or your facility can arrange to host your own downlink viewing site. To locate a suitable downlink site, check first with your own audio/visual department. You can also contact your local community college or university, hotels, state and local health departments, fire and rescue stations, or extension service offices for information about setting up a viewing site at one of these facilities. The site must have a C-band satellite dish.
How to Get a Copy and Use the Broadcast
The increase in audience through multiple viewing is, in fact, in everyone’s interest. Since this program is developed by the federal government, it is in the public domain, so you may videotape or audiotape the program (if you have access to the signal) and pass it around! No further permission is needed to tape or replay the program. Those unable to record the program may purchase a VHS video copy from NTIS by calling (800) 553-6847, or visiting the NTIS Web site at www.ntis.gov.
