Farming Matters Sessions
As part of a larger project to understand farm mental health needs and solutions, we're hitting the road to talk directly with producers, farm family members, and those who work in the ag industry. These are generally informal sessions that can take place in coffee shops, council meeting spaces, or online. The goals: Identify the major stresses in a community or a specific industry, resources they need, and their recommendations for programs and priorities. Sessions are usually 60 min but can be adapted.
