Communities That Care helps communities by providing strategic consultation, training and research-based tools, which help communities work together to promote the positive development of children and youth, and to prevent adolescent problem behaviors such as alcohol and other drug use, delinquency, teen pregnancy, dropping out of school, and violence.

The Communities That Care system is based on successful public health models of community action. The most common, and most effective, of these models involve seven key steps, illustrated here. Communities That Care has been designed to guide communities through the five most critical and challenging steps in this process, from community mobilization through outcomes evaluation.

Throughout the process, the goal is simple: Create healthier, happier kids. For more information or to find an organization near you, please use the below search
