Today kicks off the start of Sources of Strength (SOS) week. SOS works with students to help them recognize the signs of suicide and how to prevent them. This morning, members of SOS stood outside the building, welcoming students as they entered. Peer leaders and teachers gave out bracelets, leis, beaded necklaces and pins with the Sources of Strength logo. Peer leaders encouraged their fellow students to smile at their peers and make new interactions with people they do not know.

Students in the Sources of Strength (SOS) program drew the SOS wheel depicting mental health, family support, positive friends, mentors, healthy activities, generosity, spirituality, and medical access, challenging students to discover their sources of strength. SOS , a national peer-to-peer suicide prevention program, focuses on helping students find support to get them through difficult times. “The wheel is the basis of everything we do. We’ve found that the more of those aspects you have in your life, the more capable you are of handling situations that come up,” SOS supervisor Michelle Perlin said.
