We want you to know that that's out there.
Teaching is tough, but what if there were resources to make it just a bit easier? In this episode of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E., hosts Dr. Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Dr. Stacy Moore dive into the treasure trove of mental health resources available for Arkansas public school employees. From the Employee Assistance Program to Better Help, they cover a variety of free tools designed to support teacher well-being. But that’s not all.
The episode also introduces 'Paradigm Shift: Seeing Students Through a Trauma-Informed Lens', a course developed with AETN & Arkansas IDEAS. This course aims to help educators understand and address adverse childhood experiences through a trauma-informed approach. The hosts also spotlight Youth Mental Health First Aid trainings, offering practical strategies for educators to better support their students. What makes this episode truly special is its emphasis on communication.
The hosts stress the importance of showing students that their teachers genuinely care about their well-being. It’s a small gesture that can make a big difference. Whether you’re an educator, a parent, or someone interested in mental health in education, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to learn how to better care for yourself and your students.
