Nearly half of farmers in Canada meet the criteria for being overextended and 12% meet the classification of burnout, which impacts not only their farms success but also their own wellbeing (Jones-Bitton, et al., 2019). This workshop will address the contributing and protective factors for burnout and provide insights and strategies to help your farmer clients recover from burnout so that they can flourish in farming again.
In addition to helping farmers connect with psychotherapists that are culturally competent and experienced in agriculture, we also offer comprehensive Mental Health Strategy support options for organizations and Agriculture Informed Therapy (AIT) training for psychotherapists servicing rural areas.
