There is no room for ignorance in our community!

And there is no reason to stand by while leaders in our community resort to toxic racist rhetoric. Your Network is here to support you through change 👊💪

Given recent blatant acts of bigotry and hate from within our own school boards and on high school sports teams along the peninsula, it is time to choose change - to make a difference in how we live and love!

JOIN US at the potluck and stay for a guided conversation that elevates our awareness of ourselves and our neighbors.

How We Began

The Greater Williamsburg Trauma-Informed Community Network (GW-TICN) began in the summer of 2019 when a diverse group of representatives from public organizations in the Greater Williamsburg area came together to discuss how to spread awareness of the impact of trauma on the individuals and families we serve.

The goal of a TICN (as supported by FACT) is to “leverage the science of adverse childhood experiences and trauma to build relationships, convene regularly, and advance a common agenda around resilience”. In August 2019, the GW-TICN sponsored a screening of the documentary, “Resilience”, to over 120 community professionals, which also included an introductory training on trauma and resilience.

Guided by the framework established by the Family & Children’s Trust Fund (FACT) and the experience of over 20 TICNs across VA, the GW-TICN has now evolved to include representatives from many public and private community organizations serving individuals and families across the lifespan. These representatives meet monthly at the General Membership meetings to share ideas and resources, as well as plan future activities and initiatives.

In December 2019, a Steering Committee was formed, comprised of representatives from the local Departments of Social Services (James City County, Williamsburg, York/Poquoson), 9th District Court Services Unit, Colonial Behavioral Health, and the local school divisions in Williamsburg/James City County, York County, and Poquoson. The United Way of the VA Peninsula was invited to join in January 2020. Additional sub-committees were formed and began meeting in early 2020.
