| | GRTICN Community Resource Guide | | |
The GRTICN Community Resource Guide is here!
Last spring, the GRTICN held a Community Resource Mapping (CRM) event using guidance and tools developed by Virginia HEALS, during which 45 participants from agencies across the Greater Richmond region came together and identified 85 community resources. CRM is now an ongoing project of the GRTICN Outcomes Committee, who continued building out the resources and creating the GRTICN Community Resource Guide, which now includes over 120 resources. GRTICN members are encouraged to use the guide to identify resources and strengthen relationships with other agencies in the area. This project, which will be maintained and updated by the Outcomes Committee, helps to raise awareness about and engage more organizations in the GRTICN, promotes cross-sector collaboration, and furthers the mission of the GRTICN.
