Growing Resilience: Supporting Mental Health in Agriculture
Mental Health Awareness Month highlights the importance of supporting the people who make agriculture possible.
Long hours, unpredictable seasons, and financial pressures can take a toll on farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. At AgCarolina Farm Credit, we’re committed to supporting both our members and employees with resources that promote mental wellness, resilience, and connection.
We understand that access to support can look different in rural communities, which is why we offer resources designed with agriculture in mind:
A free online training that helps individuals recognize stress, improve communication, and connect with support.
Confidential, no-cost support through MyGroup for challenges like stress, grief, anxiety, and more.
Farm Credit Knowledge Center AgHub
A hub of mental health and stress management resources tailored to agriculture and rural life. Reach out to your local branch or email marketing@agcarolina.com for password.
Confidential wellness tools and services to help our employees navigate life both in and outside of work.
At this year's Southern Farm Show, we partnered with our friends at the NC Agromedicine Institute to present a Farm Show Theatre on "Farming with Family". Watch the recording here to gain practical tools for navigating conflict and conversation starters to keep your farm and family thriving.
Healthy farms and strong rural communities start with healthy people, and no one should have to navigate difficult seasons alone. We're here for you.
