Information about the NMVVRC National Town Hall Series

 

The quarterly National Town Halls sponsored by the NMVVRC, with support from the Office for Victims of Crime, provide the best, evidence-based mass violence readiness, response and resiliency/recovery resources and practices for:

  • Mass violence victims and survivors
  • Victim/ survivor assistance professionals
  • Mental and behavioral health professionals
  • Law enforcement and criminal justice officials
  • Allied professionals

 

Our goal is to establish an ongoing exchange of ideas about best practices, “lessons learned,” and experiences that can improve a community's coordinated response to mass violence incidents.  To view the information shared in our prior Town Halls, please click here for Town Hall #1, click here for Town Hall #2, and click here for Town Hall #3 and click here for Town Hall #4.

 

About the NMVVRC

 

The NMVVRC was established in October of 2017 in partnership with the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) within the Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. The NMVVRC is located at the Medical University of South Carolina, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences. The Center is composed of a multi-disciplinary team of scholars, researchers, victim service and mental health professionals, partner organizations, technical experts, and relevant local and national organizations in a multifaceted team that collaborates with OVC. Our principal partners include the American Hospital Association, National Governors Association, and U.S. Conference of Mayors.

The mission of the NMVVRC is to improve community preparedness and the nation’s capacity to serve victims and communities recovering from mass violence through research, planning, training, technology, and collaboration.
