Boosting Morale
Just this morning I heard, "I can't wait until Spring Break." It's that time of the year! In this episode we talk about ways we can boost morale in our buildings. Whether you are in charge or not, there are things you can do to make your school a place people want to be....even at the end of February!! We would love to hear what is working in your environment. Let us know by commenting on Facebook, or leave a review on the podcast app. We love you all out there!
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.
