The following survey asks personal but important questions about your attitudes and behaviors regarding suicide, substance use, and seeking help from other teens and adults. The purpose of this survey is to understand how well the Sources of Strength program helps you and other students at your school connect with adults to talk about problems you may have. 

Completing this survey is voluntary, and all responses will be kept anonymous. Your name will not be connected in any way to your answers. Please answer the questions based on what you really think or do. If you are not comfortable answering a question, just leave it blank.

If you experience discomfort or distress while taking this survey, please stop and close the survey. Please also reach out to Mary Wade at mwade@paulding.k12.ga.us AND a trusted adult in your home about any distress that you are experiencing.
