Consider Approval of Resolution 2019-21 requesting the Town of Davidson to adopt the Sources of Strength Program in partnership with DavidsonLifeLine
Summary: Hough High School adopted Sources of Strength, a Suicide Prevention Resource Center (SPRC) and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) evidence-based suicide prevention initiative designed to work upstream from crisis to a place of building coping skills and resilience, this academic year in response to several students in crisis.

The Town of Davidson and Davidson LifeLine have worked very closely together since Davidson LifeLine’s inception in 2012 and both have key partners eager to be involved in the initiative including the Town of Davidson Police, Town of Davidson Economic Development, faith communities, 5 area high schools, various non-profit organizations, and Davidson College.

The Parks and Recreation Department representative on Davidson LifeLine Board of Directors will begin serving as the Community of Resilience town lead.
