In a continued effort to help Wisconsin farmers access mental health resources, the Wisconsin Farm Center is launching a series of virtual farmer support groups starting next month. The sessions will be led and moderated by farmers who have experienced stress and anxiety while operating their own farms.
Jayne Krull, who's the director of DATCP's Ag Resource and Promotion Bureau, says a licensed mental health provider with extensive experience in serving farmers will also be on-hand at each session to offer additional support as needed.
"These groups are designed to bring farmers and farm couples together so they can share ideas, provide encouragement, and support each other through challenging times," Krull said.
Support groups will be offered at different dates and times to accommodate the schedules of interested participants.
