MCPS 'Student Strong' App Set to Debut

Montgomery County public schools will soon debut a new app focusing on mental health that students and parents can access.  The app is called ‘Student Strong’.  The app will provide resources and give students the ability to anonymously report incidents of bullying, harassment, and sexual assault or other forms of violence.

Three former students from Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring: Anika Seth, Kathryn Lalonde, and Aviva Bechky came up with the idea for the app as they were heading into their senior year. Seth and Lalonde worked together on the Blair student newspaper, ‘Silver Chips’ and it was through their reporting they discovered why this app would be important. Seth and LaLonde spoke with MyMCM about the creation of the app and what they hope it will provide to students.
