This training is for anyone who works or lives in the agricultural sector in Wales or works directly with Welsh farmers.
A recent survey by the Farm Safety Foundation found that 95% of farmers under the age of 40 felt mental health was the biggest danger facing the industry.
Join us online for our mental health awareness training to learn how you can support others in your community as well as yourself. This session will enable you to know how to spot the signs of someone with poor mental health, how to support them, how to encourage them to access support, and also how to look after your own mental health. It is delivered in an engaging way, with lots of opportunity for discussion and to ask questions. It is designed to support anyone farming, their family, those living in the rural community, or who is providing support or services to the farming community in Wales.
Each person taking part will have a resource pack sent out to them, which includes useful resources.
Previous participants have said:
"A good morning's work which has given me the skills to manage the farm staff and my farming friends in the community. And to also help me cope with the day to day life and manage my mental health and well-being."
"Excellent training. It felt like a safe non-judgemental space and was interesting and informative without being very heavy going or dull. Great discussions with other candidates help to relate the training to real experiences. I definitely feel better prepared and more confident in approaching the subject of mental health both professionally and personally."
"Great to have mental health awareness training specific to the agriculture sector."
