Author: Rebecca Miller
Planning Unit: Bell County CES
Major Program: Mental Health and Well-being - FCS
Plan of Work: Improve physical and mental health
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The past few years have been stressful and individuals have battled cognitive overload trying to process fear, anxiety and uncertainty. The ongoing health and political crises have affected people’s mental health around of world and in our communities. To help others deal with the different types of loss individuals and families have experienced over the years, the FCS Agent in Bell County taught the homemaker lesson, Self Care-Self Pamper developed by specialist at the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service Martin Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment.
41 homemakers attended the leaders training across 8 counties in the Wilderness Trail Area that focused on taking care of yourself. Each person that came to the in-person class will share the information given to them with their clubs, reaching more individuals.
After the lesson was concluded, lesson evaluations were completed:
- 100% reported they will make changes to help them feel better about themselves.
- 100% will seek opportunities to enhance happiness.
- 100% will complete several, if not all of the recommendations to pamper yourself for at least 10 minutes a day.
