NOVA offers personal empowerment programs for those with disabilities
The nonprofit delivers both training for professionals and specialized programs for groups.
If you work with people with disabilities and wish to help empower them to lead happier, safer and more rewarding lives, contact Network of Victim Assistance to discuss hosting a program or training around the often complex needs of people with disabilities.
Along with its highly regarded specialized programs designed to help those with disabilities to avoid crimes and victimization, NOVA also delivers the unique training that provides insight and skills to professionals and caretakers who assist crime victims with disabilities.
“Crime victimization is a traumatic experience for anyone,” says Eleanor Wilhelm, NOVA training specialist. “For an individual with a physical, mental or emotional disability, the problems can be even more complex.”
