Sources of Strength

Sources of Strength (Sources) is a best practice prevention program designed to harness the power of peer social networks to change unhealthy norms and culture, ultimately preventing violence, suicide, bullying, and substance misuse. This student-led program aims to increase help-seeking behaviors and promote connections between peers and caring adults. Sources of Strength moves beyond a singular focus on risk factors by utilizing an upstream approach to youth violence and suicide prevention. This upstream model strengthens multiple protective factors (Strengths) around young individuals so that when times get hard, they have strengths to rely on. The eight key protective factors are: family support, positive friends, mentors, healthy activities, generosity, spirituality, mental health, and physical health.
