Communities That Care

CTC Summit County is uniquely positioned as the community hub and convener to create a culture of health for youth and families.  Our  vision  is a world of connection, vitality, and wellbeing where kids and families thrive. Our  mission  is to collaboratively improve the lives of youth and families by fostering a culture of health through prevention. Our families face  unprecedented stress and change during COVID-19. CTC provides resources for families to foster  resilience, cope with stress and grief, as well as point the community towards mental health resources. We don’t just talk, we act. We help families with mental/emotional and behavior issues.
