The Power of Curiosity in Mental Health Education

But what I think is a precursor to being curious is being able to listen empathically.
Imagine a classroom where curiosity isn't just encouraged, but seen as a vital tool for mental health. In this episode of the 'Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.' podcast, hosts Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Stacy Moore dive into how being curious can transform educational environments. They share real-life stories from trauma-invested classrooms and explain how motivational interviewing techniques can promote empathic listening and self-compassion.
The trio's witty and relatable conversation makes complex topics accessible, offering practical tips for educators to foster these skills even in high-stress situations like the chaotic car rider line. By the end of the episode, you'll see how curiosity isn't just about asking questions—it's about building empathy and understanding in a way that can change lives.
Perfect for educators, parents, and anyone interested in mental health, this episode sheds light on the often-overlooked role of curiosity in creating nurturing and supportive school environments.
