The safety, security, and well-being of the UNLV family – our employees and students – is our priority. Rebel Recovery will encompass special events, wellness services, training opportunities, security and safety issues, and more.
Mental Health Reimbursement Program
The President and Provost’s offices, Business Affairs, and Human Resources are pleased to offer reimbursements to employees who have paid for counseling or other mental health services as a result of the December 6 tragedy.
The program will cover payments made from Dec. 7, 2023 – Jan. 1, 2025, or until funds are exhausted.
Gratitude, Encouragement, and Appreciation
Since the Dec. 6 tragedy, the Rebel community has experienced kindness, support, and encouragement from so many. We would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude for all those who have helped and inspired us as we continue our recovery process.
