The 2024 Sources Showcase celebrates Oregon students and adults working to create belonging and connection in their schools and communities, either through Sources of Strength programming or other youth-led suicide prevention efforts. They used their words, art, music, influence, activities and collective power to be agents of change, connectors to help and spread messages of hope, help and strength across Oregon. They have demonstrated the power that tapping into strengths can have on individuals and entire communities.

Nominees were chosen based on submissions that showed how they were:

Agent of change: how they used their voice, art, words, music, and/or time to advance belonging, connection, and equity in their school or community.
Connector to help: how they elevated positive opportunities for their peers, normalized help-seeking, and worked to break down stigma and codes of silence so often connected to seeking mental health support.
Rooted in hope, help and strength: how they embody strengths-based and inclusive practices.
