Join by Zoom or in person at Barnegat Friends Meeting House, 614 East Bay Avenue, Barnegat. Register at: barnegatquakers.tiny.us/BarnegatCTC.
What is the Communities That Care? What benefits does it offer to Barnegat? How can you get involved? Join us, meet Megan Tucker, and learn more.
Since 2018 a grant funded model called Communities That Care (CTC) has been operating in Barnegat. It is a national process that brings the community together to collaborate in reducing risks for youth.
If risk factors are greater than protective factors, youth are more likely to experience alcohol and drug abuse, antisocial behavior, violence, school failure, anxiety/depression and teen pregnancy.
CTC has become a very special group of passionate citizens and professionals who meet quarterly together as well as sit on monthly workgroups. Megan Tucker, a Prevention Specialist at RWJBarnabas Health has worked with youth and families since 2005. She manages the grant and would love to spread the word about CTC and how to join our mission.
