Survey Asks Braintree Residents What They Need For Health Support

BRAINTREE, MA — Do you need anything from the town of Braintree to improve your well-being?

The Braintree Partnership, a community prevention coalition that works to support the behavioral health needs of Braintree residents, is conducting a community survey throughout August to better understand the needs of the community.

"The purpose of the survey is to gain a better understanding of the community’s collective needs and knowledge of available resources," said Lyn Frano, the chair of the coalition in a letter to Braintree residents. "It will also help us to identify resources and services that are, or have the potential to be, beneficial to Braintree residents. Your candid feedback will also assist us in determining how to best promote, share, and advocate for the most valued and appropriate community resources."

Town officials said the survey takes about 10 minutes to complete, and the answers are anonymous. The survey is available in English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (traditional and simplified) and Arabic. It can also be translated into additional languages, upon request, by contacting Frano at lfrano@braintreema.gov.

Residents that complete the survey also get entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $10 or $50 Amazon gift card.

The survey can be found on Braintree's town website.
