Update from TNP Teens
Last month: Our TNP Teens created a video for students to better understand the 2026 Youth Survey. The video was shared to all the high schools and all the middle schools! You can watch the video here!
They also helped plan our Teen Night Out on October 23rd. We had 72 teens that came for free bowling, arcade games and food!
This month: Our teens are planning to do a "No Nic November" wellness table at their high school and help make posters for this year's No Nic November campaign!

Work in the Community
The Norwalk Partnership has been bust In the community. Last month we hosted a Red Ribbon Week table at the Norwalk Public Library for kids up to 5th grade. We had color sheets and our prize wheel to get the conversation about substance use going between kids and their parents.
We also had the privilege of hosting a "Stronger Together" mental health training for NorwalkACTS' Day of Training last Friday, Nov 6th. We had great discussions on how to best help our youths' mental health.
