I am a School Counselor at White Lake School. I have enjoyed seeing the impact of the Networks of Support program at our school! What I love about the program is how straightforward and simple it seems while making a huge impact. We have seen students who rarely interact with teachers and other students decide to become a mentor and really break out of their shell. I love seeing students realize their potential to lead while they think they are just playing games and talking to one another. Through the networks of support process, they are developing huge leadership skills without realizing it. I am excited to be a part of it and continue to see how our students continue to have positive impacts from this program.

Outcomes:

Groups became increasingly unified, exhibiting a shared commitment to healthy norms, and actively encouraged peers in help-seeking behaviors, fostering a supportive environment where every member feels valued and understood.
Social Network Health's interactive training fostered an even more dynamic relationship network. Within these groups, vulnerable members can draw strength from adaptive members, leading to more changes in who they identify as valued connections.
Schools have reported significant improvements in various metrics, including increased daily attendance, higher graduation rates, enhanced identification of Trusted Adults, greater willingness to seek help, and improved connectedness among students and staff. Additionally, school disciplinary issues have notably declined, reflecting the program's positive impact on the school climate and student well-being.
