TYTF Community Presentation – Student Mental Health/Substance Use Survey Results

Every three years since 2008, the Thriving Youth Task Force, convened by the Community Fund of Darien, has partnered with Darien Public Schools to anonymously survey Darien 7-12th grade students about their mental health and substance use patterns and their knowledge and attitudes about risky behaviors. The data collected from these surveys, which was administered to students last February, will be used to inform community and school efforts to promote the development of Darien youth into healthy, resilient adults and to reduce at-risk behaviors. This year’s survey results will be shared with the community at a special presentation on Wednesday, October 20th at 7pm in the Middlesex Middle School auditorium. The event is free and open to the public; anyone interested in learning more about the most concerning issues facing our local youth is welcome to attend.
