The Manitoba Farmer Wellness Program is up and running.
Board member Gerry Friesen gave an update on the program.
"We met our goal and are pleased," he said. "Over the course of the last few months, we did get applications in for counsellors. We've chosen four of them, they're up on our website. Farmers and their families are now able to go to our website and pick a counsellor and book an appointment."
Farmers and their immediate family members can access six free, confidential (one hour) counselling sessions with a registered and skilled counsellor with a background in agriculture, funded by the Manitoba Farmer Wellness Program.
The services are available during the day, evenings or on weekends to accommodate farmers’ schedules, and can be in person, by telephone or video chat depending on the farmer’s preference.
