The Lucknow Agricultural Society will be holding a free Agricultural Mental Health Workshop in partnership with the Do More Ag Foundation.
It’s being held on Saturday, April 9th from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the Lucknow Arena.
The workshops will cover five areas:
1. The signs and symptoms of mental illness, anxiety, depression, stress, and substance use, including the unique statistics and factors the agriculture industry experiences.
2. What support looks like, depending on your level of education, experience, and training.
3. How to prepare and have conversations with someone who you identify may be experiencing a mental health challenge.
4. How to support others, yourself, and how to access resources.
5. Self care and prevention strategies for mental wellness.
Organizers say the “Talk, Ask, Listen” workshop was created by farmers for farmers, and has already been delivered to thousands of producers across Canada.
