What is GEM? <o:p></o:p>
Get Experience in Mindfulness is a two time nationally award-winning interactive group-based stress management curriculum created by 4-H and health and well-being professionals from the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension. This contemporary research-based program focuses on stress management and emotional resiliency, taught through practical and interactive mindfulness-based activities to facilitate experiential learning. Participants of the program will learn what mindfulness is and how to integrate it into daily life, strength and flexibility poses, breathing techniques and other relaxation skills. <o:p></o:p>
GEM consists of (5) one-hour long lessons (see series below). The program can also be taught as a single one-hour lesson that reviews an introduction to mindfulness. The program is suggested for ages 10 and older, although consultations are available to utilize the curriculum with audiences as young as first grade. <o:p></o:p>
