New Online course Provides Mental Health Resources - Brownfield Ag News
A new resource is available to provide practical support strategies and information to help navigate mental health challenges in rural communities.
Julie Lux says Rural Minds has partnered with Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and NY FarmNet to provide the “Mental Health and Suicide Prevention in Rural America” course. “It’s targeted to veterinarians because we know how important veterinarians are in rural communities and what a big part they frequently play,” he says. “They may be the people that can see those signs.”
She tells Brownfield the course is also tailored to ag industry professionals and veterinary students, but it’s available for anyone interested. “It really provides practical tips such as identifying and recognizing those warning signs, she says. “But also how to respond to them when you do see them.”
