In a recent government meeting, officials highlighted an exciting initiative aimed at enhancing student wellness and peer support within the high school community. The counseling department is set to revitalize its long-standing peer helping program, known as \"Natural Helpers,\" by introducing a new curriculum called \"Sources of Strength.\"

This updated program, which has been in development for over 20 years, emphasizes a strength-based approach, empowering students to lead wellness and health promotion campaigns. Unlike its predecessor, which focused primarily on training students to monitor each other's well-being, the new curriculum encourages a more proactive and inclusive environment for all students.

The initiative aims to foster help-seeking behaviors and promote overall wellness among students, making it accessible to a more diverse group. Training for adult mentors and students is scheduled for next week, featuring a national trainer to ensure effective implementation.

A significant event to kick off this program is planned for October 1st, marking a new chapter in student-led support and wellness initiatives at the school.
