Family Living
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.
UW-Extension and the UW-Madison maintain a Food Safety and Healthy website with food safety and preservation information that is available at: www.foodsafety.wisc.edu.
We invest in people to grow stronger communities. For more information on Family Living Programs, go to www.uwex.edu/ces/flp and visit us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/UWExtensionFamilyLiving.
