Trauma-Informed Resilience Training

The (Re)STORE program uses Peer Recovery Specialists to facilitate trauma-informed training and recovery support for crime or trauma survivors anywhere in Virginia. MHV is known for its mental health recovery and empowerment trainings, provided throughout Virginia and funded by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health for over 15 years. (Re)STORE adapts MHV’s recovery programming to help fill the gap in community mental health recovery services for adults who have been affected by crime or are in recovery from trauma. The goal is to facilitate ongoing recovery by using a strengths-based approach to empower individuals toward self-advocacy.

MHV was one of 15 recipients in the U.S. awarded an ALKERMES Inspiration Grant™ in 2016, which allowed us to create and provide this special training for Virginia residents. Training sessions have continued and been updated with federal funding from the Victims of Crime Act through the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services.

Referrals are encouraged from Victim Witness Programs, Domestic and Sexual Assault Crisis Centers, local Community Services Boards, advocates and service providers throughout Virginia.

Join us and build your community connections! The (Re)STORE series of programs includes a 90-minute introductory webinar, a 4-hour virtual training and culminates with a 2-day in-person retreat.

For the best understanding of the material, we encourage you to attend all three of our (Re)STORE programs in sequential order, however it is not mandatory to do so. Space is limited and each (Re)STORE program has its own time commitment. A separate application to attend is required for each program.
