DIVIDED ATTENTION
When the children who need the most, receive the least

Picture
​DCARO's  Divided Attention  documentary film,  funded through a grant from the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council, follows four students from Toby Farms, a public middle school in the historically underfunded Chester Upland School District, as they learn and practice mindfulness amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the school to prison pipeline, and threat of charter takeover.
The film also serves to model how mindfulness skills instruction could be implemented in schools to impact students' social emotional wellbeing and potentially replace punitive practices that are a key factor in the School To Prison Pipeline epidemic.
Divided Attention is meant to serve as a call-to-action to address inequitable school funding for varied audiences such as students, parents and community members.
