Program history
The L&A Farmer Wellness Program was a pilot project in 2019, to provide accessible mental health counselling to farmers in Lennox & Addington county. The success of the program has led to its continuation within L&A, and as of June 1, 2020 Hastings County has launched their Farmer Wellness Program. All services are available to members in L&A and Hastings counties.
