Communities That Care Funding Opportunity

Provided By: South Dakota Department of Health Office of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion

CLOSED

Overview

The Communities That Care funding opportunity is a community-based prevention system proven to reduce youth health and behavior problems aimed at preventing, reducing, or responding to risk factors like substance abuse, overdose, and suicide. CTC helps local community groups develop community-specific prevention plans based on their unique levels of behavioral health problems and risk and protective factors. CTC’s 5-phase process provides communities with a step-by-step guide and tools to build a high functioning community prevention coalition, develop a community profile utilizing a community youth survey, create a community action plan for prevention work, and eventually implement and evaluate activities.
