EMPOWERING FLORIDA'S
STUDENTS

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 a first-in-the-nation approach, that empowers students to persevere and overcome life’s inevitable challenges. The State of Florida has developed state education standards and resources that aim to equip students with skills that strengthen resiliency. 


“In Florida, we are equipping students to be successful in the face of adversity,” said First Lady Casey DeSantis. “No problem is insurmountable — all you need is a little help to become resilient.”
