2022 Attitudes & Behaviors Survey

In order to gain a better understanding of student attitudes and actions relating to at-risk behaviors, Brookfield CARES works closely with the Brookfield Public Schools to survey students in grades ranging from 6 to 12 every few years. We’ve surveyed students 6 times since 2009. Our 2022 effort — the most recent — surveyed students in grades 7—12.

The survey — developed by Search Institute and taken by millions of students nationwide — is a secure process that protects student anonmity while providing valuable data in a wide range of areas including alcohol and drug use, depression and suicide, gambling, vaping, safety (for the first time), and more.

Developmental Assets

Search Institute also reports results as Developmental Assets — a research-based framework that shows a clear relationship between high asset scores and thriving behaviors.


Community Reports

In October of 2023 Brookfield CARES held an interactive Community Conversation with members of the community on how e can work collaboratively to build assets in our town.
