We promote the well-being of Wilton's students
by empowering youth, parents and community.
Growing up has always had its joys and heartaches, but today’s teens confront a new landscape of social media, vaping, and rising rates of anxiety and depression. Wilton Youth Council equips students and parents with skills and information to make healthy decisions. Our professionally-led youth programs provide opportunities for leadership development and drug-free fun. We educate and support parents with inspiring speakers and events. Through our collaborations with partner organizations, we create a greater sense of community and strengthen connections among families.

Are you tired of repeating the same suggestions and requests with no change in results? Do you want to increase cooperation and reduce yelling and back talk?
This Workshop, based on the book by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, and led by Susan Bauerfeld, PhD, gives you the know-how you need to be more effective.
Of this workshop series, a past participant said, “I wanted to thank you! I really enjoyed the course I attended. I feel like I have a new set of wings! You have taught me to look at things with a new insight and have given me the tools to implement them. This has helped me with everything in my daily life - of being a mother, a wife, sister, teacher, friend...etc”
This series will take place over four Tuesday evenings from 7-8:30 pm at Comstock Community Center. The meeting dates are January 7, 14, 21 and 28. This workshop series is intended for parents of elementary age children.
