Local health departments learn how to deal with acts of terrorism

October 1, 2001

Representatives from local health departments in Fairfield, Stratford and Trumbull met at Fairfield University's Media Center today to watch a downlinked program on "Recovering from Terrorist Acts: Strategies for the Public Health Professional and Agency."

Sands Cleary of the Fairfield Health Department, who arranged for the downlink at the University, said the program, one in a series, focused on post-traumatic stress disorder and how to assist people in getting help. Fairfield University provided the downlink as a service to the community. Other sites for the program were Farmington and Groton.

For questions on the program, please call Sands Cleary at the Fairfield Health Department, (203) 256-3020.
