Trackside
Mission: Trackside at Dana House will provide a safe, supervised alcohol, tobacco, and drug-free place where teenagers from the Town of Wilton can gather to socialize after school and on weekends. Trackside is designed to be a "third place" in addition to home and school where teens can develop their social skills and benefit from a safe, unstructured environment.

Community Resources
Community Resources
Crisis and Counseling Resources - Phone numbers of various support groups.
Community of Concern Booklet - Every parent in Wilton received this booklet April, 2007. In this straightforward resource you will find excellent information on drugs and alcohol and the adolescent brain. Did you know, for example, that addiction happens much more quickly in an adolescent than in an adult because of the still developing brain? This and more important information for engaged parents is in the Guide. Additional copies are available at Comstock Community Center.
Crisis Resource Directory - This guide has been prepared by Wilton Youth Services with assistance from Wilton High School Peervention students and Wilton Youth Council members. It was developed to create awareness in young people, their families and their friends as to the signs of crisis and trouble. It is not intended as a diagnostic tool, but as a guide in finding assistance in our area.
