Program details
The Farmer Wellness Initiative provides Ontario farmers, farm families, farm employees, and spouses and dependents of farm employees with free, unlimited mental health counselling, specific to the unique challenges that can be experienced by the agricultural community.
The Farmer Wellness Initiative was modelled from the L&A Farmer Wellness Program that was created in 2019 from support from farmers. The success of the L&A grassroots program led to the expansion into the Farm Wellness Initiative program that's helping farmers across the province.
