The Arkansas Department of Education's vision is for every Arkansan to be equitably prepared, supported, and inspired to succeed in school, career, community, and life.
The Arkansas AWARE Advancement School Mini-Grant Project offers an opportunity for Arkansas public school districts to enhance their mental health services. It encourages the participation in the SAMHSA AWARE program, aiming to improve wellness and resilience in education by providing funds for direct mental health services, raising mental health awareness, incorporating trauma-informed practices, and implementing behavior support services.
