Wellbeing Interventions
LSA is committed to providing a secure and supportive environment in which students can develop and continue their maturity as responsible citizens. We are dedicated to supporting all of our students throughout their time at LSA. If a student is feeling stressed, anxious, alone or sad, they can reach out to any trusted adult within LSA - whoever they feel most comfortable talking to.
