Effective Partnership and Efficient Systems

Effective Partnership and Efficient Systems

RTIC Foundation Phases to Action Phases​
​
​The Resilient and Trauma-Informed Community (RTIC) is a solution-oriented, relationship-based framework designed to have a sustained community impact. RTIC supports the establishment and maintenance of a collaborative network of community partners to foster cohesive and coordinated system improvement efforts that support a connected, healthy and resilient community. 
 
Work in the Foundation is continuous throughout the collaborative efforts of community partners during the Action Phases. It is important for system teams to consistently revisit their shared purpose and vision. Education and support for resilient individuals and organizations remains important work of the Foundational Support Team and a continuous focus during Action Phases.
 
Once a common agenda and infrastructure network are established during the Foundation Phases, the RTIC Network comprised of community partners will begin transition to Action Phases. During Action Phases, opportunities that foster a collaborative cross-sector process of continuous quality improvement encourages system change as the community moves from crisis to cohesion, problems to solutions and isolation to connectedness. RTIC Champions in the Network are active partners in collective “learning” and “doing” together supported by RTIC Facilitators coordinating change management strategies.
 
RTIC System Teams
include a team of Champions working on cross-sector alignment of action to achieve systems-level change that Disrupts the Cycle, Strengthens Resilience and Restores Lives.

RTIC Facilitators support Champions in Action Phases:

  • Connect and support a relationship-based, cross-sector network of Champions learning and doing together through Community of Practice offerings
  • Support RTIC Champions working in RTIC System Teams by facilitating change process to address challenges through aligned actions
  • Advocate for aligned actions of community partners as needed and where identified as positive fit to achieve shared outcomes​

System Teams
RTIC System Teams focus on a specific system change effort that involves utilization of collective impact conditions across the team of partners to achieve aligned actions. RTIC Systems Teams are not necessarily predetermined but are supported as new programs, funding, and other initiatives arise and are shared by RTIC Champions as collective opportunities to leverage.
