Regulate, Relate, Reason

Today we talk about Dr. Bruce Perry’s work and the Neurosequential Model. https://www.neurosequential.com/ We have read Dr. Perry’s books, including The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog and What Happened to You?, and we love the perspective the Neurosequential model brings to the table when it comes to managing students in the classroom. Dr. Perry reminds us that we have to start with regulating the body before we can relate, and those two things need to be addressed before we begin to reason. Listen in as we talk about what this means for the classroom.

Welcome to season 3 of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.!

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.
