Mission Statement:
To promote thriving families and communities in Ipsum County through research-based education.
We help build supportive communities for children and families.
Who we are…
Ipsum County Health, Family & Finance Programs support our communities’ families through a variety of educational programs and technical assistance offered to family support workers. Our staff engages staff members of family-serving agencies, including: home visitors, supervisors, case managers, early childhood educators, health care professionals and others that work with families on a daily basis. We provide interactive, research-based professional development workshops that enhance skills and promote best-practice approaches. We also support family serving organizations through coaching and consultive services. Another important role we each have is to work in partnership with community agencies and businesses to build capacity around issues affecting families, through active membership on local and state coalition/initiatives.
UW-Extension Educators work with University Specialists to provide research-based information on topics that affect today’s families. Health, Family & Finance Programs focus on encouraging family self-sufficiency through:
- Building supportive communities for children and families
- Housing education
- Nutrition education and resource management for limited resource families
- Parenting and early childhood caregiver education
- Financial education
