Wilton Coalition for Youth
The purpose of the coalition is to strengthen the connections among organizations that serve youth and families in Wilton, in order to prevent substance misuse and promote the mental health and emotional well-being of youth and families.
Coalition meetings are a forum for learning and sharing ideas. Expert speakers present information on timely topics such as understanding trauma, fostering resilience, vaping prevention, healthy relationships, QPR training and tolerance and inclusion, and lead discussions about how member organizations can support the youth they serve.
