VA TICNs

 Virginia’s Trauma-Informed Community Networks (VA TICNs) are a coalition of cross-sector networks focused on building resilience and preventing and mitigating the impact of trauma in their communities and creating a more trauma-informed and resilient culture in Virginia. VA TICNs work together with state partners to change practices, policies, and systems within their regions and at the state level. Greater Richmond SCAN convenes bi-monthly meetings of the VA TICNs, provides support and technical assistance to the 24 networks and interested groups, and distributes a monthly eNote with resources and events.

Highlights from the VA TICNs

The Journey of Becoming a Trauma-Informed and Healing-Centered Organization

The Healing-Centered Organization initiative, provides funding and support from VDSS to five local agencies within trauma-informed community networks (TICNs) to engage in a trauma-informed organizational assessment, strategic planning, and begin the process of implementing their strategic plan to become more healing-centered both internally, with their workforce, and externally, with the children, families, and individuals that they serve. The process of assessment, planning, and implementation will be shared with other agencies and organizations participating in local TICNs for the purpose of shared learning and replication.
