Communities that Care in the Netherlands
Communities that Care (CtC) is a longstanding, effective preventive approach of multiple youth problems at a community level. Its development in the Netherlands is described. Started in 1999, CtC is now being implemented in 20 local communities. Evaluations have shown that CtC is successful in mobilizing local policy makers, youth care workers and community services in aiming effective preventive interventions at identified risk factors. Optimal use is being made of local resources. A multisite trial started in 2008 will further evaluate CtC’s results in this country
