The Hilton Alumni Association has donated over $3,000 for the Hilton High School Sources of Strength training session on October 3. One hundred and eight students and 14 adult advisors participated in the full day of training at Deerfield Country Club. The donation also paid for new Sources of Strength t-shirts for the group. Three Prevention Training Specialists from the University of Rochester, who are also part of the national Sources of Strength team, provided the training.
In its fifth year at Hilton High School, Sources of Strength is a best practice youth suicide prevention project designed to harness the power of peer social networks to change unhealthy norms and culture, ultimately preventing suicide, bullying, and substance abuse. The mission of Sources of Strength is to prevent suicide by increasing help seeking behaviors and promoting connections between peers and caring adults.
