Mental Health First Aid Training was a success! Thank you to all the participants, SIU School of Medicine, and Farm Credit for hosting us.
The Farm Family Resource Initiative Helpline is a confidential service available 24/7 to all Illinois farm families. By calling or texting 1-833-FARMSOS (1-833-327-6767) or emailing [email protected], individuals can receive support from trained professionals who understand the unique challenges faced by those in the agricultural sector. The helpline offers specialized assistance, including mental health resources and agriculture-related support, ensuring that farm families have access to the help they need.
In addition to the helpline, the FFRI provides telehealth counseling services with SIU Medicine counselors, offering up to six free sessions for individuals, couples, or groups. This comprehensive approach ensures that farm families receive the necessary support to maintain both their mental and physical health, acknowledging the unique stressors of the agricultural lifestyle.
