The First Lady of Virginia's Road to Resilience Tour continued this week with a virtual stop highlighting the trauma-informed community networks (TICNs) in Central Virginia. The Southside TICN hosted the second Community Conversation of the month with representatives from three additional networks in attendance, including Greater Richmond TICN, Caroline Virginia Community Resilience Network (CRN), and Blue Ridge CRN. The conversation was facilitated by Melissa McGinn, Director of Community Programs at Greater Richmond SCAN and State Coordinator for Virginia's Trauma-Informed Community Networks. Watch a recording of the conversation, which includes discussion of how network coordinators and members are building resilience and addressing trauma in their communities, as well as the inequities and gaps that still exist and need attention going forward.
Next week's conversation will take place in Williamsburg and feature networks throughout Eastern Virginia. You can register to tune into that conversation here.
The VA TICNs are a multi-sector coalition of 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. The VA TICNs work together with state partners to change practices, policies, 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 26 networks, and distributes a bi-weekly eNote with resources and events.
