March is known as Extension Living Well Month.

Originally celebrated as just one week, Extension Living Well Week, it was developed to encourage all Americans to improve health and well-being by taking advantage of the educational opportunities offered by the Local Family and Consumer Sciences professionals.

Health is a lot more than how you look and feel. Conversations about health should include all eight dimensions of wellness:  mental, social, emotional, spiritual, financial, occupational, environmental, and intellectual. That is the focus of Living Well Month.

The North Carolina Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences works through the N.C. Cooperative Extension service to offer information that will help families achieve a positive, healthy lifestyle. Whether you are trying to manage your diabetes through meal planning and exercise, make decisions about health care and insurance, or get tips on effective parenting techniques, Extension FCS has a research-based answer.

All eight of the dimensions or areas of wellness are connected and support each other. Evaluate your overall wellness and take small steps to improve your health. Of course we want to Live Well every month, but to focus on all aspects of Well-Being there is a Living Well Calendar for the Month of March. 

Follow along each day to see how small changes can make huge impacts in your life!  The Living Well Calendar for March 2024.
