Family
By striving to meet the challenges of societal pressures and providing parenting education programs and materials for children and families, the Mississippi State University Extension Service hopes to further the well-being of Mississippi's children.
The Family, Health, and Wellness (FHW) program within MSU's Cooperative Extension Service is committed to enhancing health and wellness through education, research, and community outreach in areas such as nutrition, food, and healthy living. This diverse field focuses on empowering individuals and families to build the resources needed to navigate life's ongoing challenges. FHW specialists, agents, and staff are deeply involved in local communities, working to improve the health and well-being of families, schools, and neighborhoods. Through evidence-based education, cutting-edge research, and collaborative partnerships, we are ‘informing decisions, shaping futures, and strengthening Mississippi’.
