Gratitude, Empathy, and Mindfulness (GEM) are three things that give each of us the power to change our outlook on our everyday experiences. Through participation in the GEM Program, our Secondary students engage in activities that foster these mindsets.
Students improve their capacity to identify and explain their emotions, the emotions of others, and develop the skills required to cope with these emotions.
Given that 1 in 5 Australians aged 15-19 are currently dealing with serious mental illness, we are glad to be able to serve our students by equipping them with these GEM tools to help set them up well for successful lives beyond high school.
