Strides: Success Through Resiliency, Interventions, Development, and Effective Support
The goal of STRIDES is to provide mental health support for LCS students to help them make STRIDES towards well-being. The partnership between LCS and the FSU Counseling Psychology and School Psychology PhD program began in Fall 2023 and is directed by Dr. Lyndsay Jenkins.
During the 2024-2025 academic year, STRIDES is working at Godby High School, Chiles High School, RAA Middle School, Cobb Middle School, Deerlake Middle School, and Canopy Oaks Elementary School.
