Event Details

Last March, Thriving Youth Darien partnered with Darien Public Schools to anonymously survey Darien 6-12th graders about their mental health and substance use patterns.  The data collected from this survey is used to inform community & school efforts to promote the development of Darien youth into healthy, resilient adults and to reduce at-risk behaviors. 

Please join us for this special presentation of the survey findings by Georgette Harrison, Director of Clinical and Community Partnerships at Child Guidance Center of Southern CT.  A discussion with panelists Rebecca Campbell, Director of Therapy Services at Sasco River Center; Dr. Alycia Dadd, Director of Mental Health for Darien Public Schools, and John Hamilton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Liberation Programs, will follow.

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.
