What are Family and Consumer Sciences?

Page Content

 Family and Consumer Science Agents​ use research-based education to help people in the community to gain knowledge and develop confidence in making good decisions in several different content areas: 


Family

Food

Health

Home

Money


We link resources from the university to community members in all 95 counties across Tennessee. With the help of the University faculty, we are working to address important issues facing communities that threaten the health, safety and well-being of individuals, families and communities. The goal of Family and Consumer Sciences is to develop strong families, which will ultimately lead to a strong community.

 

Do you struggle with managing money? Want to save more? Want to avoid debt? Want to spend responsibly?


Do you have concerns about your health? Want to increase your activity levels or control your diabetes?


Do you want a better life for your family? To be a better parent? To improve your relationships?


Do you have food safety questions? Want to learn healthier food choices? Want to learn to preserve/can?


Do you have questions about saving energy at home? How to prepare for emergencies? Make homes healthier?


For help with these questions or any others else, please contact Laura Emhof, your Anderson County FCS Agent at lemhof@utk.edu.
