Sources of Strength is a wellness model based on strengths. In this particular training, I introduce Sources of Strength to encourage the use of activities in the classroom that involves the student’s sources of strength. Sources of Strength is a program that helps everyone (adults and peers) lean into strengths when times get tough so that as a community, we spread help, hope, strength, and normalize seeking help. Together, we increase the protective factors for our students against suicide, bullying, and substance use.
