It is Mental Health Awareness Month!
We know how much of a toll farming can take on a person’s well-being. Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall explains how his organization is making it a priority.
“May marks Mental Health Month, and unfortunately, there is still a stigma around mental health in our rural communities. Taking steps towards mental wellness can feel overwhelming— leaving us unsure of where to start. That’s why this year, the Farm Bureau is focusing on the theme: Just One Step. Whether it is going on a walk, calling a friend or simply taking time to reflect, the first step matters because it can start a journey toward getting better. It’s okay to not be okay, and we don’t have to fix everything all at once. So, let’s all start with just one step this Mental Health Month— and keep it going all year long.”
The Farm Bureau says that it is focusing on progress and not perfection. The group says that the first step may look different for everyone, but whatever it may be, it is worth taking.
