Communities That Care
Williams Lake, Anahim Lake and Prince George
Communities That Care is a research-based and outcome-focused approach that brings together the whole community to promote positive youth development and engagement through proactive prevention programs and supports. It looks at the roots of problem adolescent behaviour such as substance abuse, violence and depression and enhances protective factors such as an increase in community support, addictions support, and positive peer association to mitigate the occurrence of crime or problem behaviour in youth. The program is tailored to the needs, issues and resources of each community.
