Trumbull Partnership Against Underage Drinking
About TPAUD

Thank you for your interest in the Trumbull Partnership Against Underage Drinking (TPAUD).

Background:
In 2006, the Trumbull Board of Education was awarded $66,000 annually over three (3) years to study the issue and develop a community based, data driven action plan to address the issue on underage drinking.  Trumbull is one of 29 Connecticut grantees to receive this competitive grant from the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) on behalf of the Office of the Governor.  The grant is sponsored locally by the Trumbull Board of Education and Trumbull CARES, the First Selectman’s Prevention Council. 

Community Meetings:
TPAUD has scheduled community meetings designed to provide parents with more information about underage drinking.  The presentations will increase parents’ awareness regarding the prevalence of underage drinking in our community and across the state.  Clear information will be provided about dangers related to underage drinking that typically go unnoticed.  Finally, parents will be provided with information that will help them to start having conversations with their children to set clear boundaries and limits to reduce the likelihood that they will become underage drinkers. 

All meetings are free and open to the public.  (NOTE: You do not have to be associated with the school at which these meetings are being held in order to attend.)
