May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Which is not an easy topic to talk about anytime or to any audience, but it is especially hard to discuss within the farming community. We’re really good at taking care of everything and everyone but ourselves at times. But to everyone around you, you are important as well. You are valued, you are important, and you are irreplaceable. A healthy farm and a happy family need you.
If you or someone you know is struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges, you are not alone. Please reach out and ask for help, for yourself or if you are concerned about others.
The Farm Family Resource Initiative Helpline can be called at: 1-833-327-6767.
The National Suicide Prevention Line is: 1-800-273-8255
The Farm Aid Farmer Hotline is: 1-800-327-6243.

Please reach out. We are stronger together.
If there is anything the CCFB can do for you, please don’t hesitate to ask.
