Learn about how Communities That Care (CTC) coalitions work, and the science that has proven that it lowers rates of youth substance use, depression, and more. We'll also have special topics related to youth-focused prevention. 

There's no obligation to join a coalition if you attend Your CTC Basics. But if you're feeling inspired, we're always looking for volunteers to give a few hours each month to your local coalition. Many hands make light work!

Guiding Good Choices (GGC) is a free family class for anyone who interacts with middle schoolers. It provides the skills to reduce youth's risk for using alcohol/other drugs. 

The class is six sessions of two hours each week. Children are required to attend one session that teaches peer resistance skills. The other sessions are solely for parents and include instruction on: 

• Identification of risk factors for adolescent substance abuse and a strategy to enhance protective family processes
• Development of effective parenting practices
• Family conflict management
• Use of family meetings as a way for improving family management
