Programming During COVID 19

Author: Lora Howard

Planning Unit: Clay County CES

Major Program: Making Healthy Lifestyle Choices (general)

Plan of Work: Healthy Lifestyles

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The COVID 19 virus changed the way programming was offered to clients in Clay County by the Family and Consumer Science Program. 

The Family and Consumer Science Agent did 14Facebook Live videos on a variety of topics to provide educational information to the public.  Publications related to some of the videos where provided in our public access vestibule for clients to pick up for additional information.

Facebook Lives reached many more viewers than traditional programs ever had.  I boosted one of the post and the results showed that 516 people watched the video to the end.  Our meeting facility would never be able to hold a meeting with this attendance, in person. 

2 Plate It Up 516 plus views, 2 Cooking by the Calendar 334 views, 2 Diabetic Spinach and Strawberry Salad 477 views and Breakfast Wrap, Managing Stress 225 views, How to Manage Stress 534 views, How to Sew on a Button 456 views, How to Hem 515 views, Finding Ways to Live on a Reduced Income 196 views, How to Measure Wed ingredients 333 views, How to Measure Dry Ingredients 533 views, Benefits of Walking 110 views.

The agents also shared the videos with specific groups for later viewing, a drug rehab facility for women and the Grow Appalachian Group.
