Communities That Care of Lorain County strives to implement data-driven and evidence-based programming recognized as Blueprints, Model, and Promising Programs by the Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.  The Resource Assessment Workgroup of CTC compiled a report of prevention programs (both research-based and homegrown) that meet at least one of the CTC’ prioritized risk factors for Lorain County.  The report can be found via:  www.lorainadas.org/publications.htm
