Serving the Southern Nevada Community

Our Commitment to Mental Health Awareness

Studies show that 30% of first responders experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and public defenders are twice as likely to suffer from depression compared to other legal professionals. These alarming figures highlight the urgent need for accessible mental health resources. By actively engaging in our mission, whether through sponsorship, partnership, or advocacy, you are creating positive change in the community for legal professionals and first responders. 

988 Hotline

“Simply calling or texting 988 or chatting 988lifeline.org will connect a person in crisis to compassionate care and support for any mental health or substance use-related distress. Anyone—a person in crisis, or someone supporting a person in crisis—can reach 988 in the United States through any land line, cell phone, and voice-over internet device.” (SAMSHA Suicide & Crisis Lifeline)
