COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE.
Community of Practice: Mental Health in Canadian Rural Agriculture
In February 2025, The Do More Agriculture Foundation started a new Community of Practice (CoP) in Canada. It’s designed to connect those who work for non-profits, charitable organizations, and related entities which focus on the connection point of mental health and agriculture. A community of practice is a space to network, connect, share, learn, support, challenge, and grow together.
Why Join?
This Community of Practice (CoP) for Mental Health in Agriculture and Rural Communities is a collaborative space for stakeholders who support mental health in agriculture and rural communities. Our aim is to foster shared learning, connection, resource exchange, and coordinated action to better serve farmers, farm families, and rural residents across Canada.
These meetings are held monthly on Zoom and are open to representatives of organizations involved in or supporting mental health in agricultural and rural communities. Meeting notes are shared with members of the Community of Practice each month, representing over 20 organizations across Canada.
How to Join?
The Do More Agriculture Foundation is committed to uplifting and connecting all those who share our mission of cultivating a culture of wellbeing in Canadian farming communities, and holding space for these organizations to build mutual support. By working together, sharing resources and building strength, we will together foster resilient and sustainable farming and ranching communities and people.
If you are interested in joining us, please send an email indicating your interest in participating in the Community of Practice to Merle Massie, Executive Director, The Do More Agriculture Foundation at merle@domore.ag
