We are pleased to announce the launch of our first video short “How Are You, Really." With videography by the talented Anna Kuelken and post-production by Timbermill Productions. 

Additionally, we wanted to take this chance to remind you that our free sessions program with our agriculturally-informed network is back! To help you decide if therapy is right for you, we are covering the first 2 sessions for farmers and their families. 

On Wednesday, December 13, join AgKnow and Mona Cooley of Cool Family Solutions as she discusses their “Families Helping Families” course.

Families Helping Families is a 10-week accredited course delivered virtually with proven success for families coping with mood related disorders or substance related challenges.

Mona has been delivering this course since 2018 and she will share some of the background on why it was started and how the Cool Family Solutions team is helping families get help now.

This month, we are officially launching our Intro to Suicide Prevention for Ag Workshop! 

We will be contacting everyone on the waitlist ASAP to get sessions scheduled.

 

This agriculture-specific suicide awareness and prevention workshop is a 90-minute webinar that will provide participants with a general understanding of suicide risk in the community and workplace. This workshop provides four (4) steps for on-the-farm/on-the-job suicide prevention. The trainer will provide information, tools, and resources and act out scenarios relevant to the agriculture industry. After this workshop, participants will have the basic tools to know how to prepare, respond, inform, and debrief when encountering a person with thoughts of suicide in the community or their workplace.
