HIGHLIGHTS

 

Next Steps 4 Stepfamilies logo using stair steps

Stepfamilies are not new. In fact, research shows stepfamiles are the most common family form in the United States. Stepfamilies are more complex than first families and face conflicts and stress factors that are unique to stepfamilies.

The UW-Extension Offices of Buffalo and Pepin Counties have developed a program to address some of these issues and to provide stepfamilies with skills and strategies that will create stronger and healthier family relationships.

MISSION

With an office in each Wisconsin county, Cooperative Extension develops practical educational programs tailored to local needs and based on university knowledge and research.

County-based Extension educators are University of Wisconsin faculty and staff who are experts in agriculture and agribusiness, community and economic development, natural resources, family living and youth development.

Extension county-based faculty and staff live and work with the people they serve in communities across the state. Extension specialists work on UW System campuses where they access current research and knowledge. Collaboration between county and campus faculty is the hallmark of Cooperative Extension in Wisconsin.
