WHAT WE OFFER.

Did you know that 1 in 4 Canadians will experience a mental health challenge at some point in their lifetime? And with 1 in 8 jobs in Canada tied to agriculture, it’s clear the ag community needs more tailored mental health resources.

Through ongoing feedback, one thing is clear: people want to better understand mental health and how to support others. That’s why we’ve created two unique programs: Talk Ask Listen and AgCulture. 

Whether you're part of the agriculture community looking to build your mental health knowledge, or a mental health professional wanting to better support rural and ag-based clients, we have a workshop for you.
