 What
are Family Living Programs?
University of Wisconsin-Extension help families thrive in a
rapidly changing world. Backed by University of Wisconsin research,
Family Living educators work with families to help them solve
problems and improve the quality of family life. This education
meets family needs throughout the life span - from improving
prenatal nutrition and parenting skills to planning an estate
and caring for an aging parent.
What are the goals of UW-Extension programs for families? Family
Living programs are carefully designed to achieve specific
outcomes for families.
- Increase the self-sufficiency of low income
families. One way this is done is through the Wisconsin Nutrition
Education Program (WNEP).
- Maximize resources for life-long well-being.
- Improve health.
- Build community partnerships and policies
that strengthen families and youth.
