The Do More Agriculture Foundation (Do More Ag) is leading a research project to better understand the state of mental health awareness, educational offerings, and resource delivery in the Canadian agricultural industry.
Do More Ag wants to identify gaps in mental health resources for the industry, specifically the gaps that exist for women, youth, Indigenous Peoples, 2SLGBTQI+, persons with disabilities, and from racialized communities.
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said Do More Ag plays an important role in helping to bring the unique mental health challenges facing producers and their families to light.
“This collaborative project serves to boost necessary mental health resources for underrepresented and marginalized groups. We will continue to support projects that improve mental well-being and work towards inclusivity in agriculture,” Bibeau said.
