NOVA will be offering free educational crisis response webinars for everyone affected by this act of mass violence.

Dear NOVA Friends,

Thank you for your ongoing support of NOVA! Along with the entire nation, we have been deeply saddened by this week's horrific shooting in Las Vegas. As part of NOVA's long-time mission to provide crisis support to local communities after mass casualties, we have been in contact with the Las Vegas Police Department Victim Assistance Unit to offer on-site NOVA Crisis Response Teams as needed.

We also recognize that many victims, survivors and family members are not residents of this tourist city and thus may not be receiving on the ground support. With this in mind, NOVA will be offering free educational crisis response webinars for anyone impacted by this act of mass violence. Led by seasoned NOVA-trained crisis responders, these webinars will cover crisis reaction, long-term stress, and recovery issues in an effort to normalize the emotional and physical reactions many may experience in the aftermath of such a tragedy. In addition, we will direct participants to their local victim assistance programs for ongoing support, counseling referrals if needed and victims compensation information. For more information, please see:

We ask for your assistance in sharing this information with your communities. If you have any questions or need additional information, please visit our website for contact information.

Thank you in advance for your help in disseminating this very important information in NOVA's efforts to support all those impacted by this senseless tragedy.

Warm regards,

Chief Justice Richard Barajas (ret.)
Executive Director
