Alice Cooper - A Spirit of Gratitude

It’s not everyday we get to interview a friend that’s been in education for 50 years. But today we did that very thing!! We laughed, cried, and hugged a lot for this podcast episode. We invite you to listen to our conversation with Mrs. Alice Cooper at Jasper High School and learn about her amazing resiliency and time in the classroom! We think you will agree that it’s an episode to remember!

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:

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.
