Motivational Interviewing for School Professionals

This month Stacy and Nicole are talking about the professional development courses they have planned for this summer. Today we talk about Motivational Interviewing for School Professionals. This is a 6 hour, in-person, course offered at OUR on July 22nd, and Arch Ford on August 3rd. Motivational Interviewing is a powerful set of tools that assists helping adults with having productive and meaningful conversations with students about their motivation, and their motivation to change. It is normal to have ambivalence about change… to feel 2 ways about it. Motivational interviewing creates space for this and allows people to tap into their own goals, values and desires. We’re excited about this one. Listen in to find out more.

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.
