Dear Delawareans
Just wanted to let you know of a few upcoming events.
First, GIFT will be hosting two all-day mindfulness retreats in June. The first is on Tuesday, June 5th and will be held in the Springer Building on the main campus of DE Psychiatric Center. It’s a great facility, with lots of space for us to use. The event runs from 9 am to 4 pm and will be facilitated by Dr. Jenna Tedesco.
The second all-day event will be held on Thursday, June 7 at the Greater Milford Boys & Girls Club from 9 am to 4 pm. The facilitator that day is yet to be determined.
GIFT will also conduct three half day sessions, our MBWE Introduction program, on the following dates and places:
- May 23, 9 am to noon, at the Fraim Center Boys & Girls Club
- May 30, 9 am to noon, at the Dover Boys & Girls Club
- May 31, 9 am to noon, at the Greater Milford Boys & Girls Club

FINALLY, our good friends at the Mental Health Association of Delaware are hosting a special event on May 19 at Rockford Park in Wilmington at 10 am. “Meditate for a Vet” is being presented by a group called “Vetitation” and promises to offer information about the science behind meditation and how it is being used to help veterans with PTSD. The fee for this event is $30, which includes a free yoga mat for every registrant. More information can be found on the MHAD website at http://mhainde.org/wp/
Best wishes,
Jim Walsh, GIFT Delaware Director
