The launch of the AgriStress Helpline for Farmers and Ranchers comes at a time of renewed attention on mental health resources, particularly with the recent launch of the 988 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ While farmers and ranchers in need can always call that lifeline, they might meet providers who don’t understand the unique challenges they face: keeping the ranch in the family, operating on slim financial margins, battling waves of grasshoppers or watching crops wither during drought.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ The AgriStress Helpline is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by professionals trained to work with members of agricultural communities.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ ➡️ Tap this post at the link in our bio to read more, including more of the ways the helpline meets really specific, important, and urgent needs in these rural communities.​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ #mentalhealthawareness #lookforthehelpers
