The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) is offering an insurance-like benefit to help cover mental health and substance use treatment for NYC residents affected by 9/11.

The NYC 9/11 Benefit Program for Mental Health and Substance Use provides:

  • Free or low-cost coverage
  • Easy enrollment
  • Flexible treatment choices

Sometimes it takes a while to recognize your symptoms, and you might not connect them to 9/11. If you've been anxious, depressed, having family problems or using more drugs or alcohol since 9/11, there could be a connection.

Anyone who has trouble eating, sleeping, concentrating or relating to others may need help. If you're a New York City resident, and you’ve suffered these symptoms since 9/11, consider talking to someone.

We can help. Call (877) 737-1164 (1-877-SEP11MH).

The World Trade Center (WTC) Centers of Excellence also offer free physical and mental health care to people affected by 9/11. The WTC Centers of Excellence have treated thousands of people with 9/11-related health issues.

SURVEY for 9/11 Dissertation Study

To All 9/11 Responders:
 
9/11 is the most important case for emergency management literature. Many research reports have been issued on response and recovery operations in 9/11. Although many aspects of emergency management were covered, importance of informal relationships were not carefully represented in those studies.
 
This is a request for your participation in a dissertation research study from Orlando-UCF. 

Your participation will help to improve the Emergency Management responses in the future.

9/11 first responders who served with the FDNY, NYPD, DCC, American Red Cross, FBI, FEMA or US Military can participate in the study.  I am seeking first responders who either worked at Ground Zero or worked for any of these agencies at the time of the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks.
 
The survey has 25 questions, will take ten minutes to complete and can be accessed at this link:

Your privacy is guarded by UCF. No personal information is obtained via surveys. The results will not be made public.
 
 Please feel free to contact me at: bahadir@mail.ucf.edu  if you have any questions.
 
Thanking you in advance for your interest and participation.
