HRTICN's Mission

The Hampton Roads Trauma Informed Community Network (HRTICN) exists to promote understanding of how trauma affects individuals and communities, and to advocate practices that help all people reach their full potential.  

What is trauma?

Why care?

How do we respond?

Values and Results

HRTICN addresses the impacts of family violence, child abuse, neglect, and poverty in Hampton Roads. We ensure services and education occur in environments built around safety, trust, transparency, peer support, collaboration and mutuality, empowerment, voice and choice, and the recognition of cultural, historical, and gender issues.

HRTICN will increase awareness of the presence, prevalence, and impact of traumatic stress; facilitate the adoption of trauma-informed policies and practices among care providers; and develop a cross-sector collaborative to create a trauma-responsive community of providers.
