Substance Abuse Prevention

Communities That Care (CTC)

CTC works to reduce adolescent problem behaviors through community planning. Through a task force, CTC brings adolescents together with their community leaders to promote a safer, more caring and educated environment in which to live, grow, thrive and become productive members of society. Family Services is the lead agency in two locations for the initiative.
