S7 Episode 14: Mental Health First Aid

Just as there are often signals that a person may need physical first aid, students’ behavior can indicate that a student may need mental health first aid.

In this episode, Arizona Department of Education School Safety & Social Wellness Program Grant Specialist Lindsay Walker and first-grade teacher Hannah Williams join hosts Danielle and Angelia. The four discuss how to look at student behavior as communication rather than something to manage and, specifically, trainings and resources the Arizona Department of Education offers to do with behavioral health and suicide prevention, known as Project A.W.A.R.E. (Advancing Wellness and Resiliency in Education).

Being an educator in the 21st century is indescribably complex. There’s a constant pressure to meet standards and help students achieve, but there’s also a need to allow learners to color outside the lines in an effort to prompt creativity. To support educators along the continuum, the Center developed “3Ps in a Pod” to further dissect practice, policy, and passion in the field of education.
