Darien Student Survey Results

Darien's Thriving Youth Task Force is a volunteer coalition that convenes local community organizations to promote and
empower positive youth development and mental health, with the goal of reducing teen substance use.

Thanks to its federal Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Grant, TYTF, in partnership with the Darien Public Schools, anonymously surveys Darien 7-12th grade students about their mental health and substance use patterns every two years and presents results to parents and the town.


The findings are used to inform TYTF members' educational programming and community & school efforts to promote the development of Darien youth ​into healthy, resilient adults and to reduce at-risk behaviors.
