Major Program: Making Healthy Lifestyle Choices (general)
Owsley County Agent for Family and Consumer Sciences collaborated with homemaker groups to offer the Healthy Homemakers series to a total of twenty-five participants. One-hundred percent of participants identified the effects of stress on the body. Ninety-four percent of participants examined the different causes of stress in their lives and how to manage them. A follow-up evaluation revealed that 85% percent of participants have worked to decrease stress in their lives.
