Currently the CTC Staff is looking for new facilitators for Strengthening Families Program 10-14. If you know someone who's energetic, friendly, great at working with people, and a good example to parents and youth, let them know that Strengthening Families is the place for them.
The training will be held in the evening on Nov. 6th and in the day on Nov. 7th. Contact Bailey for more information, or call us at 665-4778.

Red Ribbon Week
About the Event
Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. Although the start end dates can vary slightly depending on the organization and source, Red Ribbon Week generally takes place the last full week in October, with the weekends before and following the last full week included as appropriate celebration dates. This year Red Ribbon Week will be celebrated October 17-25, 2009 . Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug prevention and education and a personal commitment to live drug free lives with the ultimate goal being the creation of drug free America. And, perhaps more importantly, Red Ribbon Week commemorates the ultimate sacrifice made by DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who died at the hands of drug traffikers in Mexico while fighting the battle against illegal drugs to keep our country and children safe.

Strengthening Families
Internationally recognized, research has validated the positive impact of the Strengthening Families Program 10-14® on parenting skills. The research also shows less frequent use of alcohol and cigarettes among program participants. Strengthening Families workshops are offered in Hutchinson and Reno County throughout the year. For more information, call (620) 665-4778 or email bailey@ctcreno.org.
Introduction
Hutchinson was one of 24 cities chosen by the University of Washington in 2003 to participate in a youth development study. Out of that highly successful experience, the Communities that Care System was embraced and a Communities that Care coalition was formed in Hutchinson. Our board is very inclusive with members representing youth, parents, business, education, law enforcement, media, government, health care, social services, youth services, civic groups, and faith-based organizations.Every two years students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 take the Communities that Care Youth Survey. The results identify high risk factors and low protective factors, and guide our board in determining the best research-based interventions to address these issues. This process is continuous. Below are brief explanations of the current programs we have selected for Hutchinson.
