OVWA Webinar Wednesday: The Ohio Crisis Response Team

Mass violence has become more frequent in our society and whether it be intentional mass murder, automobile accidents, or natural disasters, crisis responders through the Ohio Crisis Response Team have been responding to incidents and providing services to communities since 1996. OCRT is a statewide crisis response team which uses the NOVA model of crisis response which utilizes trained volunteers from all backgrounds to provide crisis response and assistance to the state of Ohio and as a part of the National Crisis Response teams organized by NOVA. Due to the unique trauma and tragedies that impact communities, advocates throughout Ohio have been actively involved with OCRT since its inception. In fact, the team was founded by three victim advocacy leaders (and OVWA leaders and members) in Ohio who continue to manage the team today. This  training will provide information about OCRT, practical crisis response skills, and steps to consider when faced with a disaster in your own community. If you require accommodations to attend this training, please email info@ovwa.org no later than one week prior to the webinar date….
