The stigma around mental health and farmers still runs deep. In fact, suicide in the agricultural community is almost double what it is in the general population. In recent years, a movement has begun to address the unique stressors that farmers face. Farmers love what they do but they need the proper tools and understanding to help them through challenging times. This talk will discuss the unique challenges that farmers face, the mental health movement, and what is being done to help farmers. Tim will also briefly give a few tips that he has adopted in his own life that can be applied to everyone – not just farmers.Doors will open at 9:45 a.m. and light refreshments will be served. The presentation will be hybrid – if you wish to join virtually a link will be sent prior to the event.https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/spring-wellness-series-1-stop-the-stigma-farmers-mental-health-tickets-482551734227
