Resources for Extension Professionals

These resources are intended for Extension professionals who are working with families and communities to address the needs that have arisen as a result of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. The resources that have been developed specifically in response to the terrorist attacks are noted in bold. We will continue building this section of the site, so if you have suggestions or resources you would like to submit for possible inclusion, please contact us.
