Communities That Care

Communities That Care (CTC) Mornington Peninsula is a preventative approach to improving the health and wellbeing of children and young people on the Peninsula.

CTC aims to promote the healthy development of children and young people by reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors in order to see favourable change in behaviour over time.

It does this across many areas of the Peninsula, including:

Somerville, Tyabb, Baxter
Hastings, Crib Point, Bittern, Cerberus
Mount Eliza
Mornington communities
Rosebud to Portsea
Two Bays area

In our 2019 survey young people on the Mornington Peninsula identified Family Conflict as a risk factor. This video has been created to raise awareness of the issues that family conflict can raise in our young people and provide some very basic ideas to help you family feel more connected.
