"Many communities rise up together in a time of crisis. The Community Collaborative of Carp Cares for Youth came together under similar circumstances. Youth violence, alcohol, drugs and teen suicide were the issues that fueled concerned community activist to come together to identify problems and find common solutions. The Carp Cares for Youth Collaborative is a classic example of how powerful and effective a collective of individuals can mobilize a community to work together for a common cause. In this case it was to introduce prevention, intervention and treatment initiatives that collectively make this community a safer and healthier place to live."
