Communities That Care Initiative Aims to Support Youth in Flathead County, Montana

May 9, 2022

Problems like substance abuse, delinquency, anxiety, and depression are troubling youth across the country — including youth in Flathead County, Montana. But steps are being taken to address these concerns. In response, leaders from more than 25 communities have chosen to support implementation of the Communities That Care initiative to address these issues and positively influence the next generation. Community leaders will study local youth data and science-based responses as they implement a strategic plan in the coming months to bring more evidence-based interventions into Flathead County, with the goal of improving mental health and protective factors among youth.
