UW-Extension Family Living Programs enrich families and strengthen communities. Backed by university research, we work for Wisconsin families by:

Helping communities respond to issues such as childhood obesity, financial security, and aging. Providing leadership for policies that help children, youth and families succeed. Increasing knowledge about parenting, health and nutrition. Offering consumers and families more strategies for managing their money. Reaching out to diverse families with education and resources. Using cost effective approaches to reduce negative family issues and build more resilient families.

We invest in people to grow stronger communities. For more information on Family Living Programs, go to http://www.uwex.edu/ces/flp and visit us on Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/UWExtensionFamilyLiving.
