Like or Value

We were iced in with you all last week and we’re coming to you from our home offices! Today Betsy joins the conversation and wants some clarification on what we mean by “like” your students. For some people, maybe “value” is a better word because “liking” every single student seems like an unattainable dream. Has our definition of “like” changed with the influence of social media? We get into it. Join us!

Welcome to season 4 of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.!


Join the conversation anywhere you listen to podcasts!


Join Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Stacy Moore as they discuss issues related to mental health in education. Their conversations are witty and relate-able, simultaneously shedding light on issues that can sometimes be hard to confront or understand. These episodes are chunked into small bites and packed with information that would be helpful to educators, parents, children.....anyone! We want to help make everyone more A.W.A.R.E.!

Project A.W.A.R.E. is a grant program funded by S.A.M.H.S.A. (the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration). The Sandy Hook school shooting happened in December of 2012. In 2013 the White House initiative "NOW IS THE TIME" came out with 2 key goals:

1. Make schools safer and more nurturing.

2. Increase access to mental health services.

The "NOW IS THE TIME" initiative laid the foundation for federal grants like A.W.A.R.E. Arkansas applied for and received the second round of funding for A.W.A.R.E. in October of 2018. Our project is dedicated to Advancing Wellness and Resiliency in Education.
