What farmer well-being covers

We pair psychosocial support with practical safety nets so producers can navigate stress, injury, and economic shocks.

Local volunteers receive ongoing supervision from clinicians, ensuring culturally grounded care backed by professional expertise.

Services provided include:

  • 24/7 helplines and tele-counseling for crisis intervention.
  • Occupational health workshops on safe equipment use and injury prevention.
  • Rapid assistance grants that bridge families through lean periods or emergencies.

Care pathways are trauma-informed, confidential, and integrated with existing cooperative structures.

Trained first responders

Volunteers receive continuous mental health training and debriefing.

Integrated care plans

Case managers coordinate referrals across health, finance, and social services.
