University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Family and Consumer Sciences and Georgia Department of Corrections Emanuel Women’s Facility formed a collaborative partnership in response to the above strategic plan. The Learning for Life Series, presented by Marnie A. Dekle, Candler/Emanuel Family and Consumer Sciences agent, began in July 2011. To date approximately 15 of the 20 original participants have returned home. As participants are released into society, new women are added to the roll. We currently have 28 participants on roll. To date topics include: Effective Communication, Managing Stress, Strong Families Eat Together, Cutting Fat & Calories, Shopping for Food on a Budget, Bridging Families during the Holidays and Fit as a Fiddle Body & Mind.
