Somerville Prevention, a division of the Somerville Office of Health and Human Services, invites all community members to the presentation of the 2019 Student Health Survey, which was completed last year by Somerville students in middle school grades. The presentation, given in a game show-style with interactive trivia and facilitated by Somerville Positive Forces (SPF) youth, will be held on Thursday, January 20, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Connexion located at 149 Broadway. Light refreshments will be provided.

The Student Health Survey covers topics such as substance use, mental health, physical health, and violence and safety, and the anonymous results help to inform initiatives and programming by the Health and Human Services department. These topics will also be discussed in more depth following the trivia portion in breakout groups led by expert facilitators.
