The meeting, hosted by the Hudson Valley Cerebral Palsy Association in Brewster, included a survey for participants to complete that the National Guard distributed.

Those attending were from local government, the faith and business communities, law enforcement, the schools, parents, media, healthcare professionals, youth-serving organizations and organizations that deal with substance abuse issues.

The results of the survey will be used to identify and address the issues.
