Voices Of Our Children

Voices of Our Children:

Message of Hope and Healing

Voices of our Children: Messages of Hope and Healing. In a time of national tragedy, this is what we need. We need to hear that there is pain, sadness, anger, and anxiety, but we also need to hear that there is hope. We need to realize that through unity, America will heal from this gaping wound. The poetry, short stories, and songs that are contained within this CD reflect the inner most thoughts and feelings of children regarding the September 11^th tragedy. We share these with you as an expression of the pain and grief that children are experiencing. However, we recognize the strength and resiliency that our children possess. They give us hope for the future, for in fact, that is where the future of America resides.

It is our desire that this material will bring about discussion by other children regarding their sentiments of September 11^th. One of the most valuable steps in healing from tragedies is to be able to talk about our thoughts, feelings, and recollections. And so, Suffolk County Psychological Association is proud to present to you:
