2026 Trumbull Community Survey

TPAUD, Trumbull’s Prevention Partnership, is a community coalition whose mission is to engage and mobilize youth, parents, and community partners to foster social/emotional health, prevent substance misuse, and create a safe and healthy community.

TPAUD is interested in understanding community member attitudes around risk and protective factors in our community. Through this survey, we will be able to better serve Trumbull youth and families with local prevention programming.

This anonymous survey takes about 5 minutes to complete.
