Holiday Series Promotes Strong Families and Connected Communities
Author: Cabrina Buckman
Planning Unit: Washington County CES
Major Program: Nurturing Families (general)
Plan of Work: Support Wellness of Washington County Citizens and Community
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Strong families and connected communities have been shown to bolster emotional, physical, and mental wellness through enhanced feelings of identity, development of resiliency, increased security and stability, and reduced harmful behaviors. In order to provide an experience that promotes strong families and communities, the Washington County Family and Consumer Sciences Agent partnered with the Washington County Public Library and the Washington County Nutrition Education Program Assistant to hold a free Happy Holiday Series for families. The series included events around the holidays of Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Event activities encouraged physical activity, gratitude, creativity, and the development of motor skills for young children. Over three hundred individuals participated in the holiday series. The Washington County Extension Service will continue to work with community partners to serve families and improve lives.
