About

Our youth-focused prevention work is truly a community effort

Our History

Our History

Our History

For five years, NorthCare Network provided funding and training to establish CTC coalitions county-by-county across the UP. 


In 2016, these coalitions joined to form UP CTC. 


As a group, we identify what kids and teens of the Upper Peninsula are experiencing. We work to lower risk factors and expand protective factors.

Our Vision

Our History

Our History

Our mission is to increase membership in CTC prevention coalitions, share information, and distribute messaging.


  Our coalitions pool resources, ideas, and opportunities to improve the quality of life for our young people.  


We welcome the participation of all community members--professionals, parents, concerned citizens, and youth.

CTC: An Evidence-Based System

CTC empowers communities to use prevention science to make real change.


We use local data to get a realistic picture of what our young people are dealing with, and put programs and activities in place to address them. A scientific trial demonstrated that young people from communities using the CTC system were 25% to 37% less likely to have health and behavior problems than those from control communities.
