Thank you Community Resiliency Project for your support in the territory 🙏🏽

The Community Resiliency Project (CRP) has provided free resources and support to our community in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic for just over two years throughout the US Virgin Islands.

We have served thousands in our community, individually and in groups, including schools, community organizations, government agencies, and businesses.

As we begin the phasedown process, CRP continues to remind the community about all the resources available throughout both districts. Please review the attached document.

After November 6th when CRP will end services in the territory, Insight Psychological Services on St. Thomas will continue to provide presentations in the schools along with some more therapeutic groups for students. They will also continue to provide referrals as needed for therapy.

Island Therapy Solutions on St. Croix will offer free resources and make referrals for services as needed. Free presentations for schools/agencies will be offered as needed and by appointment only. Island Therapy Solutions will continue to offer the services of the Trauma Response Team when trauma occurs, such as unexpected grief/loss.
