This training has greatly increased my appreciation of the impact of farming on the farmer. I think the extra readings/ videos were very helpful. I think that AIT is an essential training for non-farming professionals (therapists).

Welcome, we are thrilled that you are here. Our goal is to help farmers thrive.

We provide counselling services to farmers and their families. We also provide certified agriculture informed training to therapists and social workers as well as speaking engagements and a host of other resources and supports. Thanks for stopping by.

Our Agriculture Informed Therapy™ (AIT) online training introduces therapists and students to the unique needs and treatment strategies for farmers, their families, and their communities. It is nationally recognized and provides continuing education credits.

This Mother's Day, we celebrate incredible farm moms—the women who feed our families, nurture our land, and support our rural communities with love, grit, and resilience.From early mornings in the barn to late nights balancing farm books and bedtime stories, moms in agriculture do it all. They're caretakers, business partners, decision-makers, and emotional anchors for their families and farms.But being a farm mom isn’t just about hard work—it’s about heart. And at NFMHA, we recognize that the mental load of farming life, especially for moms, can be heavy. That’s why we’re committed to supporting the mental well-being of women in agriculture raising kids and crops, side by side.💚 To every mom in agriculture: We see you. We thank you.
