Call 1 (888) 624-8373 (customer service line for the publisher,
National Academies Press). This Institute of Medicine (IOM)
report highlights critical issues in responding to the psychological
effects of terrorism. The report includes recommendations
for training and educating service providers to ensure appropriate
guidelines for the protection of service providers. Information
is also included on how to develop public health surveillance
for factors leading to psychological consequences. To assist
the committee preparing the report, SAMHSA, together with
the IOM and the National Institute of Mental Health, sponsored
a workshop to assess the immediate and long-term consequences
of terrorism. Several SAMHSA staff members were among those
presenting at the workshop. |
