New research to identify gaps in mental health resources in agriculture

The Do More Agriculture Foundation will look at better understanding the state of mental health awareness, educational offerings, and resource delivery in the Canadian ag sector.

The overall goal is to identify current gaps in mental health resources for the industry as a whole, and more specifically the gaps that exist for traditionally underrepresented and marginalized groups.

They'll be collaborating with Wilton Consulting Group, Openly, and Psychotherapist Bonnie Taylor to conduct: workshops, an environmental scan, key informant interviews, surveys, and focus groups.

Megz Reynolds, Executive Director of Do More Ag says in order to change the culture in agriculture to one where all individuals are supported and empowered to take care of their mental well-beings, we must also create a culture and industry where all are welcome, lifted up and the specific needs of each individual and group are addressed.
