WELLINGTON COUNTY – On Friday, February 16th, just days after Canadian Agriculture Day, Wellington County is out with an interactive online event designed to provide mental health awareness training, specifically for farmers, agriculture workers and their support system.
This event, in partnership with CMHA, ‘In the Know,’ is a four hour-long literacy workshop.
Running free of charge, In the Know “is meant for farmers, producers and persons with whom they have regular contact, including family members, peers and allies in the agricultural industry such as veterinarians, breeders, seed or feed salespeople, financial institutions, accountants or other community members.”
The course provides education on topics like stress, depression, anxiety, substance misuse and how to start a conversation around mental well-being.
It will run 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. A lunch break will be provided from 12-12:30.
You can reserve your spot here.
