Practical Tools to Support Farmer Mental Health

This practical workshop equips Farm Bureau volunteer leaders with the tools to recognize concerns, start conversations, and connect farmers and rural residents to mental health supports available through Farm State of Mind. Participants will learn how to effectively integrate a no-cost peer community platform, clinical services, and wellness education into their local outreach—when to use each, how to introduce them, and how to build trust while reducing stigma around mental health. Walk away with actionable strategies, ready-to-use outreach templates, and access to printable materials, empowering county leaders to confidently incorporate free mental health resources into Farm Bureau programs and better support the wellbeing of their communities.
