Connecting Farmers to Mental Health Resources

Author: Paul Norrod

Planning Unit: Agricultural Education

Major Program: Family Development General

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Farmers and farm families consistently report difficulty finding mental health services tailored toward farming. A farmer's wife in Union County reached to Agribility for assistance in finding a therapist near their county. I collaborated with the client as was able to offer several mental health practitioner's in their area as well as provide a web-based list for provider selection based on insurance status.
