💙💚#bellletstalk about the state of mental health within Canada’s agriculture community. It is very concerning. The level of anxiety within the farming community is at an all-time high — ten times higher than in the general labour market. We want those in the agricultural community to have the help they need. We help connect farmers, and their families to therapists that are farmers or part of farm families and understand the unique pressures of the industry. 💙💚Our affiliates are therapists in your community that have been trained in our nationally recognized ‘Agriculture Informed Therapy’ training so that your farming experiences are better understood and valued.💙💚Reach out. We would love to connect you with one of our affiliates:📧[email protected]📱1-877-639-8828🌐https://nfmha.ca/how-we-help/psychotherapy#nfmha #nationalfarmermentalhealthalliance #farmermentalhealth #ranchermentalhealth #ruralmentalhealth #bellletstalk #mentalhealthawareness ...
