We are heading to South East Queensland in the New Year.
A series of workshops building skills and confidence to identify, understand and assist people experiencing stress will be held in Maryborough, Monto, Binjour and Biggenden during the first week of February. The workshops are designed for farmers, community members, service providers and industry representatives who would like to develop their skills to better support family, friends, colleagues and clients experiencing stress.
Places are limited. For more information and to register to attend: Click here
Are you having a tough time and need to talk to someone?
Acknowledging when you're experiencing poor mental health and seeking help can be difficult and it can be hard to know where to go for support.
The new Farmer Health online support platform gives you access to registered and qualified Australian Psychologists no matter where you live, and at a time that is convenient to you.
Book a matching consultation to find your best fit psychologist and speak to someone who understands the many factors of farming life and work that contribute to mental health challenges.
