Social Pain

Think of the most painful experience of your life.

Not only is social pain literally painful. Praise is literally pleasurable.

Social pain motivates us to be together and work together.

Historically – belonging was necessary for survival – but is it really any less so today?

Social rejection looks the same (from a neural perspective) as physical pain.

Social pain is the same in the brain as physical pain. Social pain is “the pain associated with the actual or potential threats to one’s (actual, potential, or imagined) social connections.”

If you give people Tylenol then you don’t see the pain areas in the brain light up.

Social isolation has been used as punishment and torture.

Welcome to Season 2 of the Arkansas A.W.A.R.E. podcast series.

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.
