Sources of Strength (SOS)
About Sources of Strength
Sources of Strength is an evidence-based upstream mental health promotion program that empowers Peer Leaders to make positive changes in their school culture. School staff are also trained alongside our Peer Leaders as Adult Advisors by nationally certified trainers. SOS Peer Leaders create campaigns for the entire student body to participate in activities that encourage strength and wellness in an effort to increase help seeking and a positive school climate.
Mission
Our mission is to provide evidence-based prevention for suicide, violence, bullying, and substance abuse through training, support, and empowerment of both peer leaders and trusted adults to impact our school through the power of connection, hope, help, and strength.
Vision
We believe that multiple strengths are more powerful than one, and our goal is to stimulate and encourage these strengths in ways that positively change our school and community.
