Mental health professionals invited members of Ontario’s ag community to participate in a free webinar on Sept. 18.
On that date from 10am to 2pm EST, reps from the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) presented In the Know, a mental health literacy workshop tailored for farmers, their families and others working in ag.
“We cover a variety of topics,” Rebecca Posthumus, a program coordinator with CMHA who runs the virtual sessions, told Farms.com. “Things like stress, depression, anxiety, substance abuse and how to start conversations around mental health and mental wellbeing.”
The next free In the Know workshop is scheduled for Oct. 23.
