The purpose of carrying out this assessment was to better understand the local conditions and root causes of substance abuse or misuse present in the city of Winooski, Vermont.

A better understanding of these conditions is necessary in helping us direct our programming and interventions to protect our youth as they grow and develop into self-sufficient and fulfilled adults.

By providing the results of this work to local leaders and community members, we hope to empower evidence-informed action to be taken to reduce substance abuse. By delving into root causes, the sources and factors that contribute to substance abuse that are specific to a particular community, also known as “risk” and “protective” factors, we can also understand how to intervene in a way that has the greatest positive impact on the largest number of people.

In the WPP Annual Report, we reflect on a year of unwavering dedication to building healthier communities. This report highlights our achievements, partnerships, and the positive impact we've had on the lives of individuals in Winooski and beyond.
