Get Outside!: Design and Implementation of a Family-Based AgriLife Extension Program
October 8, 2025 2pm
Webinar with Debra Kellstedt, DrPH, Assistant Professor & Extension Specialist, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension - Family & Community Health
Children only spend minutes a day outside but spend between 7-11 hours a day on screens. Families report they spend less than an hour of quality time together per day during the week. How children and families spend their time has contributed to a number of physical and mental health challenges.
The Get Outside! program is an AgriLife Extension program that aims to help Texas families boost their health, happiness, and time together by being more active in nature every day. In BINGO-card format, this program employs evidence-based strategies to increase time outside, increase physical activity, and increase quality family time. Families can check off and record a variety of suggested activities that they do together in the great outdoors—everything from making mud pies to hiking through the forest.
In this webinar, Dr. Debra Kellstedt, a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Assistant Professor & Health Specialist, will highlight key components of the Get Outside! program and share takeaways from the program pilot phase. Tune in to learn methods for moving health and nature research into practice and to discuss the ins and outs of program design and implementation.
