Sources of Strength Suicide Prevention Program

Staff complete Sources of Strength suicide prevention advisor training
This week 16 adults from Walla Walla High School, Lincoln High School, Garrison Middle School and Pioneer Middle School completed the Sources of Strength Adult Advisor Training led by local trainers Shayna Hutchens and Nicole Mueller.

Sources of Strength is a strength-based, upstream suicide prevention program that focuses on relationships between trusted adults and peer leaders to enhance protective factors associated with reducing suicide at the school population level through messaging and campaigns.

Each school will have their peer leader training in October. The students will be educated on the program, experience engaging in strength in their own lives, and plan how they will spread hope, help and strength through campaigns for their school.
