Co-Founders Present at American Public Health Association Conference

STRIDES co-founders, Ashley Roberts and Anne Sutkowi, will be presenting at the annual conference of the American Public Health Association in Washington, D.C. on October 31, 2011. The conference theme is "Healthy Communities Promote Healthy Minds and Bodies," which is a perfect fit for the mission and goals of the STRIDES program.

The presentation, titled "STRIDES: Individual- and Community-level Suicide Prevention for At-Risk Youth," will inform conference attendees about the STRIDES program, lessons that were learned during the first year of the program, and recommendations Ashley and Anne have for people who want to start the program in their communities.

We are excited for the opportunity to continue spreading the word about our program and the need for programs like these in alternative schools across the country!
