Youth Surveys & Other Data Collection
Our youth surveys and analyses surface local needs, protective factors, and risk factors, so coalitions, schools, nonprofits, and policymakers can act on real community data.
We are an outpatient clinic operating during set business hours. If you need immediate mental health support, call or text 988 or dial 2-1-1, option 1. If you or someone is in immediate physical danger, call 911.
About Our Surveys
Positive Directions conducts and analyzes community and youth surveys to understand local conditions around substance use and mental health. This data drives the work of our coalitions, schools, and partners, helping the community target prevention where it matters most.
All survey information may be used by the public. When citing, please credit the source (e.g., 2024 Norwalk Youth Survey by Positive Directions and Norwalk Public Schools).
