C.O.R.E. Connections was created to give participants with intellectual disabilities a chance to connect their whole body health with mindfulness and lifestyle changes through four principles:

• Communicate: Start to better understand the body and what it is trying to tell you. Learn ways to communicate better with those around you.
• Overcome: Learn knowledge, tools, and skillset to help overcome fears, doubts, and low self-esteem.
• Relate: Enjoy a positive human experience. Live, laugh, love.
• Empower: Instill the value of the unique self in order to grow the belief in self-worth and ability.

Activities during each C.O.R.E. Connections Day includes some of the following: whole body health and includes lifestyle analysis, goal setting, nutrition, local farm to table initiatives, personal fitness abilities, and mindful activities like creative art, music sessions, adaptive yoga, and guided breathing exercises.

After each program, we encourage participants to stay active and involved on a regular basis in Vermont Adaptive programs so we can work together toward longer term healthy lifestyle goals.
