The
Worcester Institute on Loss and Trauma
On December 2, 1999, Worcester
was stunned by the loss of six firefighters
in a fire that destroyed the Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse.
This event, like other catastrophic losses, struck a universal
cord that resulted in an outpouring of support and sympathy
from around the world.
The Worcester community lacked
a system and comprehensive way to help those who had suffered
both directly and indirectly from the loss and trauma that
resulted from this event. |
|
|
It
was out of this tragedy the Worcester Institute on Loss and
Trauma was created. Beginning in
December 1999 through February 2000, Dr. Marjorie Cahn worked
tirelessly with the leadership of Youth Opportunities Upheld
(Y.O.U.), Inc. and the University of Massachusetts Medical School,
Department of Psychiatry to develop the purpose and structu\re
of the Institute. In
March 2000 a diverse group of professionals came together
to plan the first conference, entitled “Catastrophe:
Community Impact and Healing” was held on October 20,
2000. Conferences continued
to be held annually thereafter. |
