Ms. Deborah Caputo, a certified Sources of Strength trainer, met with and a small group of teachers and administrators at the secondary level on Friday to re-launch Sources of Strength for this school year.

Sources of Strength, which is a research-based “upstream” prevention program was designed to prevent students from engaging in risky behaviors by providing them with a structure that emphasizes protective factors such as mentorship, positive peer relationships, generosity and family support. Students form peer groups that are overseen by an advisor and that advisor serves as the mentor to the students, who are tasked with launching campaigns of positivity throughout the district.
