“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.”

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:
“Human beings rarely go it alone. Much of what we do – at work, at school, and at home – we do in concert with other people. Our ability to survive, even to live, depends on our capacity to coordinate with others in and across time.” pg.180
“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.”

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.
