Service Members and Veterans Initiative

Speakers: Chair & Presenter: Harold Kudler, M.D. (Washington, DC) Discussant: Norman M. Camp, M.D. (Richmond, VA)

The Service Member and Veterans Initiative (SVI) seeks to guide the American Psychoanalytic Association’s efforts to elucidate and alleviate the psychological trauma of war. This requires articulation of the concept of traumatic stress in terms that can be shared and acted upon across a broad range of theoretical perspectives, mental health disciplines, and systems of care. This presentation by Harold Kudler, Chief Consultant for Mental Health for the Department of Veterans Affairs and SVI Chair, will offer a common language for understanding psychological trauma and propose a practical path for implementing this perspective in direct work with patients and their families, clinical supervision, teaching, research, and enhancement of systems of care.

How Local Governments Can Support Mixed Income TOD

Speakers: Pamela Wideman, Assistant Director, City of Charlotte, NC; Karl Dinkelspiel, Senior Project Manager, Portland Housing Bureau. Moderator: James Alexander, Housing and Economic Development Manager, Atlanta Beltline, Inc.

What can the government do to support mixed-income transit-oriented development? This panel focuses on the ability and possibilities of local governments to support and facilitate affordable TOD. Land use, zoning, trust funds, gap financing and direct development represent several tools available to local governments. The panelists explore what is the perceived role of government as it relates to mixed-income TOD; how different local governments have used these and other tools to create affordable TOD; and what works, what has not been working, and innovative areas for opportunity.

Cleaning-Up Freight Projects through Community Tools and the National Environmental Policy Act

Speakers: Kim Gaddy, Environmental Justice Organizer, New Jersey Environmental Federation and Clean Water Fund; Alexandra Bambas Nolen, PhD, MPH, Director, Center to Eliminate Health Disparities; Denny Larson, Executive Director, Global Community Monitor; Melissa Lin Perrella, Senior Attorney, Natural Resource Defense Council. Moderator: David Fukuzawa, Program Director, The Kresge Foundation

(2 hour session) Ports, rail yards and truck corridors are creating increased health, environmental, community and labor costs. Air pollution created by the freight transportation industry is associated with increased asthma in children, cancer, heart attacks, strokes and premature death. Currently, many freight projects go through a public process mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) before they can be approved. In this session, we describe ways communities can influence the NEPA process to ensure the environmental and public health impacts of freight projects are adequately disclosed. We also provide hands-on instruction on community-based participatory research tools including, health impact assessments (HIA), and community-led air quality monitoring and mapping, which can help communities build capacity to address air pollution.
