Australian farmers haven't had to balance more priorities than now (Farmsafe, 2021).
EAP for Agricultural workers
Isolation, extreme weather events, family responsibilities, market fluctuations and demanding physical work are only a few factors that have contributed to significantly higher suicide rates in rural communities compared to capital cities.
Agricultural communities and the people who bring local product to our shelves have not had easy access to, nor a range of mental health experts to choose from, to support their mental health needs. Until now.
Connect Psych is the perfect partner to support agricultural organisations and every member of the team; no matter where someone is located and how long their days are; through our online booking platform, extended practitioner hours, video / phone / chat session options and access to mental health practitioners all over Australia.
“It is a common characteristic for farmers to put up a strong facade when they are experiencing social or financial difficulty. While Australians take pride in our successes, we can also neglect our own mental and physical well-being when stress sets in.”
