The Communities That Care (CTC) Prevention System

Runtime: 3:33

Communities That Care (CTC) is a prevention system—based on the SDS—that helps interested communities implement a coordinated set of effective prevention approaches customized to the community’s specific goals and needs in behavioral/mental health.
