Are you a therapist, social worker or student who works with farmers, their families or others in the agricultural community?

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

We’ve developed the Agriculture Informed Therapy (AIT) training program to introduce the unique needs of farmers to therapists and students who may work with them in their practice. This unique, nationally recognized, online course is intended to teach therapists how to effectively build and maintain a therapeutic alliance.

Our goal is to create a network of therapists, each trained to recognize the unique issues facing the agricultural industry, to develop effective mental health strategies that meet the specific needs of farmers and their families. Established cultural competency is imperative in ensuring farmers and their families receive appropriate services when they are sought out.

Our courses are nationally recognized and qualify as fulfilling required professional development hours.
