Do More Agriculture's "Community Fund" applications now open

Stats show that one in four Canadians will experience a mental health problem at some point in their life. 

Over the years access to agriculture-related mental health support has been growing through organizations like Do More Agriculture (DMAF).

Executive Director Megz Reynolds says we have been as an industry, starting to talk more about mental health and starting to take steps forward with our mental health.

DMAF has a complete list of provincial and national contact information and resources for the agriculture sector available here.    

Once again, Do More Agriculture is running the community fund program thanks to a partnership with Farm Credit Canada and our other partners. 

"The focus of the Community Fund is really to bring mental health literacy and workshops into rural farming communities across Canada for free. So really working to bring mental health education and awareness to communities."
