FACT has developed a Framework for Building and Maintaining a Trauma-Informed Community Network (TICN). This document outlines key elements to guide cross-sector coordination and collaboration to build and maintain TICNs. The framework will inform future grant funding decisions and technical assistance provided by FACT, but is also intended to serve as a suggested model for emerging and existing TICNs as this movement evolves across the Commonwealth.
