We are in a series of episodes discussing The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt.  How have video games and social media shaped our young people?  Is there a connection between their mental health and this technology use?  Are we truly “forever elsewhere”? 

Join Betsy Kindall and Nicole Fairchild 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.

Coaching is a powerful way to gain more self-awareness. Too often coaching is seen as punitive, or only something you need if you're new, or if you are struggling as an educator. In so many other fields having a coach is simply a sign that you want to be better!...that you want feedback and you are looking for progress.

Have you ever asked yourself, "is it me?" when you're having a difficult time with a student or behavior management in the classroom? Self-awareness is critical to our ability to make the kinds of changes we're always talking about.
Today we talk about the very real struggle of managing your own shame response while managing a classroom. Does shame ever override your social skills as an adult? It takes an intentional effort to respond in a way other than what is natural. We talk about junk behavior, like eye-rolling, and how to pivot when necessary.
You'll be able to tell that we were recording virtually from our home offices during the winter weather. We'll be back in the studio with the GOOD SOUND next episode!

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!

Today we have four guests! We wanted to hear a little more from people who have spent their lives being champions for kids.
Ryane Owens-Sorey talks about tapping into her passion to be a champion in a local school district and now using that passion to begin her work with the AWARE team as a Regional Trainer. Andrea Fortner, Guidance and Counseling Coordinator, discusses how it is hard to be a champion alone and who she has partnered with over the years. Dr. Amanda Musick, director of student services for Bentonville, shares what it is like to lead champions in a larger school district. Beth Mathys, AWARE Regional Trainer, talks about how the passion to be a champion for kids often grows out of personal experiences.
There are champions out there. If you're feeling alone in your work, we hope this episode reminds you that there are like-minded people out there working alongside you in Arkansas!

Happy Holidays Everybody! Thanks for tuning in. We wanted to bring you a little "blast from the past." This is one of our episodes that are in the archives about resiliency and we just thought it might be a relevant listen during the holiday break. We hope you enjoy!

Distinguishing Self-Care and Resilience

Last week you heard an episode that was recorded live at the Coordinated School Health Conference. Today we pick up the conversation by talking more about resilience and how it harmonizes with self-care. We also wonder, is “self-care” a dirty word now? Something you dread? We’re curious.

Brene says, “Shame thrives on secrecy, silence, and judgment. [However, when] we reach out, share our shame experiences with someone who responds with empathy, [then] shame dissipates.” - Atlas of the Heart, Brene Brown. Today we talk about the impact of shame in the classroom. In teacher student relationships there is a power differential. Are we expecting students to dissipate their own shame? Do you have a story of a relationship starting in shame and ending in empathy? Think about it. Stacy says, “I think a lot of us spend our whole lifetimes finding that person that says, I see you for who you are and I love you despite and with everything you bring.” What do you think?
Let’s be the kinds of people who dissipate shame in our relationships, in our hallways, buildings and classrooms!

Today is our final conversation around Brené Brown's new book Atlas of the Heart. We discuss the concepts of compassion, sympathy, empathy and then we get into compassion fatigue. Is sympathy a bad thing? We also process a little around the balance of believing a person's experience and still having sound judgment and wisdom. And we ask; what is the correlation between compassion fatigue and sensitivity?

In this episode we continue our discussion around concepts from The Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown. Today the focus is on "places we go when things aren't what they seem" and mixed feelings like nostalgia, cognitive dissonance, and paradox. This brings up some of the concepts we have previously discussed, like the idea of "both/and," from the Surge Capacity episode. We also talk about the power of words and of grappling with definitions of feeling words.

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

Currently on the AWARE podcast we are talking about The Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown. In this episode we discuss ideas around boredom and education. Is it ok for students to experience boredom? Are student expectations such that they never want to be bored at all? Does it impact student productivity or work ethic?
We also discuss a situation with a higher education professor and we reference this article:

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

Currently on the AWARE podcast we are talking about The Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown. In this episode we discuss ideas around boredom and education. Is it ok for students to experience boredom? Are student expectations such that they never want to be bored at all? Does it impact student productivity or work ethic?
We also discuss a situation with a higher education professor and we reference this article:

Therapists use basic skills that we generalize in society in many ways. We might call them active listening skills, conflict resolution, communication skills, empathy skills, etc. It’s true that all of these skills are things counselors do – but getting good at them does not make you a counselor! It makes you a better human. Today we talk about how the trainings we do are designed help to improve these skills in our educators. We also discuss the value of Mental Health First Aid trainings and how they teach, and allow you to practice, good basic skills that prepare you to intervene in a mental health challenge or crisis.

This month Stacy and Nicole are talking about the professional development courses they have planned for this summer. Today we talk about Teacher Wellbeing and the Enneagram. We have talked about teacher wellbeing and self-care quite a bit over the course of this AWARE grant. Our thoughts about it have shifted and refined as we have tried different things and heard from educators. Even if “self-care” seems like a dirty word to you at this point, we still need it… so what do we do about that? We also talked about how the Enneagram continues to be a beneficial tool as we look at self-care and SEL skills! Stacy and Nicole are doing a 3 hour virtual course on Teacher Wellbeing on June 1st. Nicole will be doing breakout sessions on Teacher Wellbeing and the Enneagram at the ASCD conference on June 6th in Bentonville. We hope you’ll join us!

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:

This month Stacy and Nicole are talking about the professional development courses they have planned for this summer. Today we talk about Motivational Interviewing for School Professionals. This is a 6 hour, in-person, course offered at OUR on July 22nd, and Arch Ford on August 3rd. Motivational Interviewing is a powerful set of tools that assists helping adults with having productive and meaningful conversations with students about their motivation, and their motivation to change. It is normal to have ambivalence about change… to feel 2 ways about it. Motivational interviewing creates space for this and allows people to tap into their own goals, values and desires. We’re excited about this one. Listen in to find out more.

Or is there something else that needs to be done about that fracture, that withdrawal? What do you think?

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.

Betsy and Nicole have a conversation with Dr. Michael Mrazek. Dr. Mrazek is a research scientist at UC Santa Barbara where he serves as the Director of Research at the Center for Mindfulness & Human Potential. This two-part interview is centered around "Finding Focus".

Finding Focus is a digital course for teens created by UC Santa Barbara & UT Austin. The 22-day course teaches students how to train their attention and also how to use attention to relate more effectively to their thoughts and emotions. There are weekly 12-minute lessons and daily 4-minute exercises, for a total time commitment of 2.5 hours. Scientific research shows that the course leads to increased classroom focus, better stress management, and improved emotional regulation.

Thanks to funding from the U.S. Dept. of Education, high school teachers and their students get free access. A teacher interface makes it simple to enroll students and track their progress.

Betsy and Nicole have a conversation with Dr. Michael Mrazek. Dr. Mrazek is a research scientist at UC Santa Barbara where he serves as the Director of Research at the Center for Mindfulness & Human Potential. This two-part interview is centered around "Finding Focus".

Finding Focus is a digital course for teens created by UC Santa Barbara & UT Austin. The 22-day course teaches students how to train their attention and also how to use attention to relate more effectively to their thoughts and emotions. There are weekly 12-minute lessons and daily 4-minute exercises, for a total time commitment of 2.5 hours. Scientific research shows that the course leads to increased classroom focus, better stress management, and improved emotional regulation.

Thanks to funding from the U.S. Dept. of Education, high school teachers and their students get free access. A teacher interface makes it simple to enroll students and track their progress.

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

"Fitting in is the opposite of true belonging – Brene."

"True belonging doesn’t require that we change who we are; it requires us to be who we are. – Brene"

“Connection: Connection is the energy that is created between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment. Belonging: Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. Because this yearning is so primal, we often try to acquire it by fitting in and by seeking approval, which are not only hollow substitutes for belonging, but often barriers to it. Because true belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world, our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.”
― Brené Brown, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead

Sebastian Junger in his book Tribe says your tribe is “The people you feel compelled to share the last of your food with.” We all desire this – it’s part of the reason why we love shows like Seinfeld and Friends, Saved by the Bell, and Boy Meets World now his daughter in Girl Meets World. They all have TRIBES.

Junger also notes that, “Lack of social support has been found to be twice as reliable at predicting PTSD as the severity of the trauma itself.”

Lieberman says, “Often, a friend’s primary value is the comfort of knowing we have friends. Despite the various ways friends can be directly useful to us, the fact that our friends are our friends is often an end in itself.”

Quotes from Pink:

“Synchronizing makes us feel good – and feeling good helps a group’s wheels turn more smoothly. Coordinating with others also makes us do good – and doing good enhances synchronization.”

"Why people are rejected"

Undesirable behavior

Disruptive, aggressive, impulsive, hygiene

Social skills

Less obvious or extreme than undesirable but maybe just awkward, anxious, withdrawn

Different physical or behavioral characteristics

Culture, ethnicity, race, disabilities, physical attractiveness

Reputation

Pattern of previous rejection, self-fulfilling prophecy

Defensive Dehumanization

If you’re not in my group, then I feel justified in treating you as less to protect my group

The Jeff Yalden Foundation has a graphic called the Theory on Teen Suicide with 3 overlapping circles:

1) I’m a Burden – Perceived Burdensomeness - This represents a belief on the part of the individual that they don’t make any notable contributions to the world. They serve as a liability.

2) I’m Alone – Thwarted Belongingness – This represents a belief on the part of the individual that they don’t have any meaningful relationships.

3) Desire for Suicide – Capability for Suicide – Represents habituation to physiological pain, to fearsome experiences, to repeated exposure, to painful and proactive events.

The overlap of all 3 is where we need to be very concerned.

Social pain motivates us to be together and work together.

Social rejection looks the same (from a neural perspective) as physical pain.

Social pain is the same in the brain as physical pain. Social pain is “the pain associated with the actual or potential threats to one’s (actual, potential, or imagined) social connections.”

If you give people Tylenol then you don’t see the pain areas in the brain light up.

Social isolation has been used as punishment and torture.

"The primary goals of adolescence"

“Fitting in, or gaining peer acceptance, is a primary objective of youth in the high school context and, for many adolescents, may be more important than academic goals.” (Crosnoe, 2011 Eccles & Roeser, 2011).

Perceived belonging and the data students collect on it becomes the “source material” for important outcomes like dropout rates, academic performance, mental health issues, and how much control they have to make the changes they feel need to be made. We typically extrapolate data we took in in high school about how we fit in and where we belong and apply it to larger society, college, workforce, etc.

It doesn’t matter if WE think they are connected or belong. Do THEY think that?

Students that are low in social connectedness tended to think that “peers were in control of determining the criteria for which youth could fit in with certain social groups and that, in order to fit in, conformity is necessary.” Many of these kids are not interested in conformity but they are interested in belonging.

Many kids get labeled or put into a group that they don’t feel is consistent with who they really are, or who they would choose to fit in with, if they could.

Kids with higher amounts of social connectedness tend to feel more like others perceptions of them, and their ability to fit in, is in their control. They can draw people closer or push them away, with either little cost, or a confidence that they can find what they need elsewhere.

If am considering making myself vulnerable by trying to make a connection, but I have a history of being rejected, then I may decide it’s not worth the risk. Am I isolating because I don’t want to fit in, or because I’m pretty sure I won’t, so why bother trying?

If I am considering making myself vulnerable by trying to make a connection, and I have a history of being accepted, then maybe it’s not a risk at all. Maybe it doesn’t even feel vulnerable. And if I did get rejected then I might still have the confidence to try again, or simply fall back on social connections that are already established.

Jacqueline Schall, Tanner LeBaron Wallace & Vichet Chhuon (2016) ‘Fitting in’ in high school: how adolescent belonging is influenced by locus of control beliefs, International Journal of Adolescence and Youth, 21:4, 462-475, DOI: 10.1080/02673843.2013.866148

We typically extrapolate data we took in in high school about how we fit in and where we belong and apply it to larger society, college, workforce, etc.

It doesn’t matter if WE think they are connected or belong. Do THEY think that?

Students that are low in social connectedness tended to think that “peers were in control of determining the criteria for which youth could fit in with certain social groups and that, in order to fit in, conformity is necessary.” Many of these kids are not interested in conformity but they are interested in belonging.

Many kids get labeled or put into a group that they don’t feel is consistent with who they really are, or who they would choose to fit in with, if they could.

Kids with higher amounts of social connectedness tend to feel more like others perceptions of them, and their ability to fit in, is in their control. They can draw people closer or push them away, with either little cost, or a confidence that they can find what they need elsewhere.

If am considering making myself vulnerable by trying to make a connection, but I have a history of being rejected, then I may decide it’s not worth the risk. Am I isolating because I don’t want to fit in, or because I’m pretty sure I won’t, so why bother trying?

If I am considering making myself vulnerable by trying to make a connection, and I have a history of being accepted, then maybe it’s not a risk at all. Maybe it doesn’t even feel vulnerable. And if I did get rejected then I might still have the confidence to try again, or simply fall back on social connections that are already established.

Maslow had it wrong. Food shelter water are on the bottom. But infants can’t get those things on their own. They need a committed caring adult to consistently provide them. So SOCIAL NEEDS must be the very bottom of the pyramid. According to Maslow it’s the 3rd tier up – as if it’s optional, or just nice. For every primary need on the bottom of the pyramid there is a corresponding Pain. Hunger, thirst, and the need for shelter is to rest and recover from pain that would otherwise occur.

“Food, water, and shelter are not the most basic needs for an infant. Instead, being socially connect and cared for is paramount. Without social support, infants will never survive to become adults who can provide for themselves. Being socially connected is a need with a capital N.”

“Real pain (that is, physical pain) serves an essential role in our survival. For every need with a capital N there is a corresponding physical pain with a capital P that we feel when the need is not being met. A lack of food leads to thirst, which when unquenched can be similarly painful and motivating.”

https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200609-how-face-masks-affect-our-communication

Quote from the article: If you find yourself struggling, psychologist Al Zayer has this advice to offer: “Over-communicate – use more words than you normally would, and ask more questions, to make sure you’re correctly picking up on the other person’s emotions. Learn how to use your other senses and body language, too.”

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3879648/

Conclusion: This study demonstrates that when doctors wearing a face mask during consultations, this has a significant negative impact on the patient’s perceived empathy and diminish the positive effects of relational continuity. Consideration should be taken in planning appropriate use of face masks in infectious disease policy for primary care and other healthcare professionals at a national, local or practice level.

https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2020/06/world/coronavirus-body-language-wellness/

A recent study of 719 patients with the common cold found that the more empathetic they perceived their doctor to be -- the faster they recovered. Each patient was asked to score the doctor for empathy shown to them on a 1-10 scale. Those who scored the doctor a perfect 10 (around a third of patients) had reduced severity of symptoms, recovered faster and also had higher immune function, about 50% better than others.

Here is some information from the G.U.I.D.E. For Life website to familiarize yourself with the program:

"All Arkansas students should graduate with a strong foundation of academic knowledge, experience, and proficiencies. To be successful, students also need an equally strong foundation of soft skills – those intangible abilities that help people get along with others, communicate well, and make positive contributions in the workplace and beyond.

The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education has identified five guiding principles that support educators, business leaders, communities, and students in their efforts to help all Arkansans develop these critical skills. The principles represent skills needed to thrive at home, school, on the job, and in the community: Growth (manage yourself). Understanding (know yourself). Interaction (build relationships). Decisions (make responsible choices), Empathy (be aware of others).

The G.U.I.D.E. for Life program, with the support of Arkansas counselors and educators, is designed to give K-12 students a plan – a five-step process – that they can follow to achieve personal success. Each principle is summarized in easy-to-understand key words, with three action points to explain the idea. By incorporating the G.U.I.D.E. for Life concepts throughout the school experience, we can help instill these “real-world” skills for success in all Arkansas students. The result? Well-rounded citizens, stronger communities, and more effective employees."

Defensive dehumanization.

Wow. That sounds terrible! It sounds like something we should be fighting against. It’s true,
dehumanizing people is a step towards things like slavery, murder, violence or genocide. In order to wipe out a people group, drop a bomb, or fight in a war, you have to dehumanize your opponents.
What’s interesting is that empathy is actually a part of creating space for dehumanizing a person or
people group. It is because I have such great empathy and love for my family that I might be willing to kill someone who breaks into my house and harms my child or spouse. In that moment it is my
tremendous empathy that leads me to dehumanize the intruder.

This makes sense because the stress response hormones allow them to be on high alert so they can mitigate risk and respond quickly to threats.
That’s not true for all kids. Some kids who have several ACEs tend to shut down, zone out and protect themselves by essentially hiding in plain sight. For them it feels safer to not notice, not get overwhelmed by the risk possibilities, not make their presence known.
But either way – they are highly attuned to the non-verbals. They are what we might call hyper vigilant. Ready for action, to fight, run, or play dead, at any moment.
Have you heard of mirror neurons? This is fascinating stuff. Some researchers claim that mirror neurons are what makes us human. Dr. Ramachandran calls them the “basis of civilization.” He has a great TED talk about mirror neurons. What does this have to do with hypervigilance? Well – let’s explore that.

Nadine-Burke Harris does such a good job of explaining this in "The Deepest Well" (referenced in episode 2 "ACES".)

Cortisol is released during a traumatic event but it serves a longer-term function too. It keeps us safe by keeping us on alert. Lighter sleep, blood pressure rises and more blood sugar is available for energy in case a crisis is just around the corner. Cortisol is attributed to the craving for high-fat, high-sugar foods. We need to be ready for a crisis. Our bodies get ready regardless of whether that crisis is a massive food shortage or extreme emotional pain. Your immune system also gets cranked up.

But when this is chronic, it all goes south. This state of being was not intended to be chronic. The biological stress of it can lead to obesity, heart problems, auto-immune disorders, and depression and anxiety. High cortisol levels have a role in weight gain! Fatigue! Brain fog! Even difficulty healing after a cold or from an infection!

We simply can’t (biologically) take in new information. Let’s walk through the biological process of a stress response. Sometimes called fight, flight or freeze. A danger presents itself and our bodies begin to respond even before we have conscious thoughts about the danger. Adrenaline is released and our heart starts racing, breathing increases as our airways open. You feel like you could toss a mountain out of the way. You have been biologically prepared to run, to fight, or to fake dead! We morph into a being whose only focus is survival.

Survive at all costs......a process that can also become toxic. Join Betsy and Nicole as they discuss risks related to "soldiering through" traumatic situations.
