In the fall the Nicholas County Extension Office worked together with the Nicholas County Family Resource Center to provide "Home Is Where The Health Is" to angel tree recipient guardians. In this program there is an emphasis on "family glue" and having strong ties holding families together, this is important for this audience as sometimes the true structure and meaning of family can sometimes be lost in financial struggles. All of the participants felt they never or only occasionally take time for themselves, and that that is an important part of a strong family. 70% of the participants felt like after this class they would try to take the time needed for themselves. Most all, 80%, reported that they learned three news ways to fix a family problem without fighting. These actions will help increase happy healthy homes in Nicholas County.
