The Roanoke Valley Trauma Informed Community Network (RVTICN) is an integral part of Virginia's network of over 30 trauma-informed communities, dedicated to understanding, preventing, and addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and trauma. ACEs and trauma encompass potentially distressing events such as abuse, neglect, familial dysfunction, racism, community violence, and more. Such events can impact an individual’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development throughout childhood and adulthood. Our mission at RVTICN is to unite Roanoke Valley organizations in comprehending, preventing, and effectively responding to ACEs and trauma. At our core is a dynamic learning cohort of impassioned organizations committed to creating trauma-informed systems. Action is our hallmark. RVTICN provides essential training and resources, empowering community organizations to navigate the complexities of trauma. Through shared knowledge and connections, we aim to collectively foster resilience, creating a more compassionate Roanoke Valley. Join us in our journey toward building a trauma-informed community, where every individual thrives. Together, let's make a lasting impact on the well-being of our neighbors.
