Diverse families form the foundation of strong Wisconsin communities.  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.
