tpaudTrumbull Leaders Announce Findings of Underage Drinking Study
and Town Action Plan

Trumbull is one of 29 Connecticut communities to tackle the issue
Broad local coalition unites to focus on education and prevention

TRUMBULL, Conn. – January 10, 2008 – Trumbull First Selectman Raymond Baldwin Jr. joined with the Trumbull Partnership Against Underage Drinking (TPAUD) and community leaders today to announce the results of last year’s underage drinking assessment.  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.  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. 

“This grant enabled Trumbull to obtain accurate data about the prevalence and the causes of underage drinking in our community,” stated Baldwin.  “It is clear that we must partner with the other 28 Connecticut communities grappling with this serious challenge so that we may share resources and best practices with one another.  I urge parents and community leaders to join with us as we shine a light on this issue and work together to create a healthy and safe environment for our youth.” Read the entire Press release...
