Researchers are encouraging Canadian farmers to participate in a mental health survey.
The National Survey of Farmer and Rancher Mental Health in Canada aims to understand experiences related to stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, resilience, and coping.
It’s the third survey of its kind conducted by Dr. Andria Jones, a professor in the department of population medicine at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College. The Canadian Centre for Agricultural Wellbeing is providing additional support.
“The survey is open to all farmers (and others in ag) across Canada from any commodity group,” Jones told Farms.com. “If you’re a farm worker or a student but still work on a farm, the survey is open to you too.”
The survey is open until the end of March.
