In honour of World Mental Health Day on Monday October 10, we welcomed the In The Know team from CMHA Ontario to discuss Agriculture Wellness Ontario. Agriculture Wellness Ontario is a suite of programs designed to ensure farmers are getting mental health support where and when they need it. In this episode, Lindsay Bebbington, Program Manager, In The Know and Adriana Van Oostveen, Program Coordinator, In The Know discuss the suite's three programs:
1. The Farmer Wellness Initiative - a free individual counselling service (1-866-267-6255)
2. The Guardian Network - a volunteer suicide prevention network
3. In The Know - a mental health literacy workshop tailored to the agricultural community.
We also discuss the importance of taking care of your mental health, along with why these supports are so unique to the agricultural community.
