What Is CTC
Communities That Care (CTC) guides communities through a proven five-phase change process. Using prevention science as its base, CTC promotes healthy youth development, improves youth outcomes, and reduces problem behaviors.


The CTC process begins with a youth survey to identify a community’s risks and strengths. Based on these data, Horizon Public Health helps communities select and implement tested & effective prevention programs and policies. CTC also helps amplify programs already working.
We are starting in Pope County and Minnewaska Area Schools!
