NOVA offers personal empowerment programs for those with disabilities

Network of Victim Assistance (NOVA) has developed a series of specialized programs around the often complex needs of persons with disabilities. 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, training specialist. “For an individual with a disability, the problems can be even more complex.

“NOVA’s programs are designed to help empower them and provide them with the skills to reduce their risk of victimization. Our trainings build a greater understanding of crime victims’ needs so professionals and caretakers can assist them more effectively.”
