Attention Seeking

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

How do you know when someone likes you? Does it take a lot of emotional energy or bonding to get to that point?
"Every time you make eye contact, or you don't, your body language, all of it is relationship building. You don't have an option. You're doing it. It's not optional. It's not extra."
Listen in as we talk about what it takes to like someone, or feel liked by someone, and how much that matters. We'll talk about power, non-verbals and cues for safety.
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.
