Communities That Care

Mitigating Risk and Boosting Protective Factors

Communities That Care is a powerful project on a mission to enhance the well-being of every Coloradan. “Communities That Care” doesn’t just skim the surface, but it aims to help reduce risks and boosts protective factors that have a lasting impact on youth and their communities. These efforts are grounded in solid evidence and driven by a dynamic community-organizing approach. It dives deep into the critical issues of racial justice and oppressive systems within each community. It’s about giving every voice in the community a platform, empowering individuals to shape the decisions that impact their lives. It’s a movement of empowerment, working towards long-term reductions in violence, suicide, and substance misuse. This program is not just about change; it’s about transformation, making Colorado safer and healthier for generations to come.
