Improving Mental Health Care by Understanding the Culture of Farming and Rural Communities

Part one in a three-part series: Improving Mental Health Service Access for Farming and Rural Communities

This webinar will address the mental health crisis and unique stressors caused by COVID-19 within farming and rural/frontier communities. Presenters will speak about the ways health practitioners and community leaders should address stigma, stressors, mental risk factors, and provide treatment resources in these communities. Participants will learn about improving mental health engagement and the unique aspects of providing services within these communities while also getting a “boots-on-the-ground” perspective on mental health care for farmers.
