Communities That Care (CTC) is a risk-focused approach to reducing adolescent drug use and violence through community mobilization and planning. 


Local citizens and community leaders work together as the CTC for Youth Board to identify the risk factors that increase the likelihood of problem behaviors developing, and enhance the protective factors that can shield youngsters from problems. 


The risk and protective factors are used to implement a comprehensive plan to step ahead of problems with far-reaching and long-lasting solutions.

What is Communities That Care?

Risk factors, such as availability of drugs, family conflict, academic failure, and favorable attitudes toward problem behavior, are those conditions that increase the likelihood that a child will develop one or more behavior problems in adolescence. 


CTC attempts to identify and reduce the risks present in the community, home and school.

What are Protective Factors?

What are Protective Factors?

Protective factors, such as individual characteristics, bonding, healthy beliefs and clear standards, are aspects of adolescent’s lives that counter risk factors or provide a buffer against them. 


A key strategy of CTC is to enhance protective factors that promote positive behavior, well-being and personal success.
