Maybe we should think of it as this: so what? So you're saying like characteristics of people who say: I don't care. Yeah, can I put the little fire inside of you that says: who cares what they say?
Have you ever wondered why it's so hard to ask for help when it comes to mental health? In this thought-provoking episode of Arkansas A.W.A.R.E., hosts Dr. Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Dr. Stacy Moore dive deep into the reasons behind our reluctance. From societal stigma to personal fears, they explore the many obstacles that keep us from reaching out.

Whether you're an educator, a parent, or someone struggling with mental health issues, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
