Welcome to BeFarmWell.

We’re glad you’re here. Our mission is to support farmers by working together to build meaningful resources and in-person supports that reflect the realities of agricultural life.

We do this by:

  • Training therapists in our Agriculture Informed Therapy™ Model
  • Participating in research
  • Attending and hosting community events
  • Developing the BeFarmWell app, co-designed with farmers

Your input is essential. It ensures that the BeFarmWell app truly meets the needs of producers, their families, and rural communities.

Please take a few moments to complete the survey below. If you’re open to it, we’d love for you to stay connected and continue this journey with us as we work to strengthen mental health support for farmers across Canada.
