#AllOurKids

The Youth Voices Count Survey, conducted by HKYFS in December 2023, offers critical insights into the perspectives and experiences of students enrolled in Haddam-Killingworth public schools, grades 9-12. The data collected from this survey will play a pivotal role in informing the development of strategies, policies, and practices not only for HKYFS but also for other educational and social service organizations in the community. It’s important to note that while this survey was administered within the school setting, the findings are intended to reflect the broader communities of Haddam and Killingworth rather than solely representing the school environment. The objectives of the survey are twofold: firstly, to describe youth perceptions and experiences related to substance use, mental health, school environment, social media, and online gaming; and secondly, to utilize the information provided by youth to inform and enhance initiatives and activities tailored for youth in the community. This comprehensive survey aims to systematically capture the voices of youth and leverage their insights to drive meaningful improvements and support initiatives that resonate with the needs of the community.
