  • For Parents

    We understand the vital role parents play in their children’s well-being. That’s why we have developed an array of invaluable resources to support parents in navigating the complex issues of substance use and mental health. Our comprehensive toolkit equips parents with knowledge, strategies, and guidance to engage in open conversations with their children, recognize warning signs, and promote healthy behaviors. From informative guides to treatment centers, we empower parents to become proactive allies in safeguarding their children’s physical and emotional wellness.

  • Assessment Report 2018

    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.

Spring 2023 Youth Survey Results

In late May 2023, WPP staff provided a link to an online survey about substance use for students to complete during their advisories. There were 200 complete surveys submitted, and this slidedeck shows the results. The survey was anonymous in an effort to increase the likelihood of honest responses without fear of repercussions. These data were presented to school administrators and will be included in an Assessment Report to be released in 2024!

WPP uses the webapp QuestionPro to collect data. QuestionPro gives WPP a free nonprofit license.
