OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS (RFD NEWS) — National Ag Day is a time to connect with the farming community, and this year it also highlights a new effort focused on mental health resilience across rural America.
Carol Anderson with Rural Minds joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss the launch of the Farmer Mental Health Resilience Program.
In her interview with RFD News, Anderson spoke about the rural mental health crisis and why it remains an important issue to address. She also outlined what the new program entails and how it is designed to support farmers and those around them.
Anderson discussed how the initiative aims to help individuals across rural communities while also addressing the stigma often associated with mental health. She also shared how viewers can learn more about the program.
Finally, she offered thoughts for the ag community as it celebrates National Ag Day.
