Over half of Canada’s farmers report they suffer from anxiety—almost 10 times higher than Canada’s labour market. Twenty-five percent of farmers reported experiencing suicidal thoughts in the past year.

There are unique issues facing the agricultural industry, we help farmers and veterinarians by providing agricultural-informed therapists and training for therapists with an interest in practicing within the agricultural community.

Look to us to provide agricultural-informed therapists who understand the unique issues you face. Our various workshops are geared for therapists and explore the factors facing today’s farmers. We share how to adapt mindfulness and self-compassion strategies in your work with farmers, farm families, and rural veterinarians. 

We’ve also developed the Agriculture Informed Therapy (AIT) program to introduce the unique needs of farmers and veterinarians to therapists and students who may work with farmers/veterinarians in their practice. The course is intended to teach therapists how to effectively build and maintain a therapeutic alliance. Established cultural competency is imperative in ensuring farmers and their families receive appropriate services when they are sought out.

A friendly reminder to our International Ag Informed Therapists, your team meeting is today from 1:00-2:30 p.m. EST! That includes all of our Canadian, American and U.K. affiliate counsellors. We look forward to connecting with you, sharing updates, and continuing to build our community of support together.#nfmha #aginformedtherapy #farmermentalhealth ... See MoreSee Less
