佳博体育南内华达州法律援助中心今天宣布，克拉克县已经为拉斯维加斯坚强恢复中心提供资金，以扩大其对所有暴力犯罪幸存者的服务，并在未来社区发生任何大规模暴力事件时提供协助。 To coincide with this expanded mission, the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center has officially been renamed the “Resiliency & Justice Center.”
2017年10月1日，91号公路丰收节（Harvest Festival）发生了悲惨的大规模枪击事件，恢复中心是我们社区第一个综合性、多机构合作的大规模犯罪幸存者服务机构。 从那时起，恢复中心为那些直接和间接受到该事件影响的人提供援助，提供当地和国家资源的导航，免费法律帮助，通过犯罪受害者计划获得赔偿的援助，以及与心理健康服务的联系。
2021年，美国司法部犯罪受害者办公室向该中心颁发了国家犯罪受害者服务奖，以表彰其为暴力犯罪的家庭和幸存者提供的经验、知识和杰出援助。 2023年，国会犯罪幸存者和司法核心小组授予弹性中心盟军专业奖，以表彰其为幸存者提供的非凡工作。
联邦政府对恢复中心的资助最近结束了，但暴力犯罪幸存者的持续和迫切需求仍在继续。 Today’s funding allows the newly renamed Resiliency & Justice Center to not only continue to serve survivors of 1 October, but to serve survivors of all violent crimes throughout Nevada with the ability to respond to violent incidents timely, with experience and knowledge. 恢复中心将通过继续提供所有服务，切断法院和政府官僚机构，并作为全国其他社区处理类似悲剧的蓝图，为暴力犯罪受害者及其家人提供援助。
Clark County Office of Emergency Management will activate the Resiliency & Justice Center during any community incident of mass violence, as it did recently for the first time since 1 October when a mass shooting occurred at UNLV on December 6, 2023. The Resiliency & Justice Center is currently assisting staff, faculty, and students affected by the shooting, as well as families of those who lost their lives or were seriously injured that day. In working with UNLV, Clark County, the UNLV Foundation, and Legal Aid Center, the Resiliency & Justice Center also set up a fund to accept donations for families of victims who died in the incident and suffered severe physical injuries. 迄今为止，已有338名捐助者捐赠了107 000多美元。 Details are available through www.lacsn.org/unlvfund.
“10月1日从根本上改变了内华达州对恐怖暴力行为的看法和反应，”芭芭拉·巴克利（Barbara Buckley）先生说。南内华达州法律援助中心执行主任。 “我们知道，幸存者和受害者家属需要全面的支持和资源，以便在悲剧发生后建立力量和复原力。 The Resiliency & Justice Center is a national model on how to work with survivors. 我很荣幸能与克拉克县、内华达州、拉斯维加斯大都会警察局以及非营利组织和社会服务组织密切合作，以满足幸存者的需求。 我们很高兴看到该中心扩大规模，并将我们所学到的一切应用到我们社区的其他暴力犯罪幸存者身上。”
克拉克县经理凯文·席勒说：“复原中心诞生于10月1日的悲剧，并已成为服务犯罪受害者的全国典范。” “克拉克县为我们在建立该中心方面所扮演的角色感到自豪，并为我们与南内华达州法律援助中心、内华达州和其他组织的持续合作感到自豪，以确保它将继续成为我们社区和所有可能需要其服务的人的资源。”
In addition to a new name, the Resiliency & Justice Center will move to a new location, 南内华达州法律援助中心’s Advocacy & Justice Complex. Design plans are still being finalized on the three-story statewide service campus that will house the Resiliency & Justice Center, along with Legal Aid Center’s Family Justice Project (which provides representation to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking) and its Guardianship Advocacy Project (preventing the abuse of the elderly, people with disabilities, and children facing guardianship). 有关该项目的更多信息请点击此处： www.lacsn.org/advocacyandjustice
