What is Sources of Strength?
Sources of Strength is a best practice, strength-based, upstream suicide prevention and mental health promotion program that has shown effectiveness in both preventative upstream and intervention outcomes.
It is a strength-based, peer-led, and evidence-based program that empowers students to build resilience, create positive connections, and foster a culture of hope, help, and strength. By focusing on protective factors and healthy coping strategies, we are working together to create a well world and community.

Thank you for your patience as we learn our new Converse #1 app! Today at 8:00 AM we sent out a reminder about early release on Fridays. Unfortunately, the phone call displayed an incorrect number (from Little Rock, AR) instead of our Converse #1 phone number. We've corrected this issue and future calls will show the proper number. We also accidentally sent a duplicate message at 3:20 PM. If you did not receive the notifications, please contact your child's school. Thanks again for your understanding as we learn together!
