Sources of Strength

Sources of Strength (SOS) is a best practice youth suicide prevention project designed to harness the power of peer social networks. The mission of SOS is to prevent suicide, bullying, and substance abuse by making help seeking behaviors and connecting with peers and supportive adults a cultural norm. The upstream approach that SOS takes strengthens multiple sources of support around young individuals so that when times get hard, they have strengths to rely on.
