Resiliency Florida: Empowering Florida's Students Every Day
No one is immune to adversity and hardship. But with strong skills and a community of encouragement, we can persevere.
Florida’s First Lady Casey DeSantis is leading the nation in empowering students to overcome challenges. In partnership with the University of South Florida, the state has developed curriculum for students that aims to strengthen skills that support resiliency.
“In Florida, we are empowering students to have hope,” said First Lady Casey DeSantis. “No problem is insurmountable — all you need is a little help to become resilient.”
