The farm economy is in crisis and farmers are under intense stress. Calls to Farm Aid’s farmer hotline increased by 109% between 2017 and 2018. And according to the Department of Health and Human Services, 111 million people live in areas with a shortage of mental health professionals.
If you have thought about working with farmers in your county and state, this is an opportunity to learn about the farming culture as well environmental and economic conditions affecting their mental health and well-being.
