Delaware Acdemy Souces of Strength student peer leaders and adult advisors - group photo

Several students participated in a Sources of Strength Peer Leadership
training this week. Sources of Strength is a mental health promotion and
suicide prevention program that aims to prevent adverse outcomes by
increasing wellbeing, help-seeking, resiliency, healthy coping, and
belonging. Each year a group of students, nominated by peers, are
trained as Peer Leaders and are connected with Adult Advisors at school.
Peer Leaders will be tasked with designing and implementing "campaigns"
throughout the school year which help students identify and utilize
multiple sources of support so that when times get hard, they have
strengths to rely on. High School Guidance Counselor Amanda Kane is the
Sources of Strength coordinator.
