Hurricanes Helene and Milton had devastating impacts on the southeastern United States. Communities in many states are facing unprecedented challenges.
Many areas were left in ruins, including severed communication lines and local support systems struggling to respond to the crisis. In recognition of the critical need for mental health support during these challenges, AgriSafe is offering FarmResponse® training seats at no cost to those providing counseling services to ag communities affected by the hurricane. This training will assist in providing the best possible care to the state’s agricultural communities impacted by disasters. It’s vital to not skip mental health while trying to make a physical recovery.
AgriSafe’s FarmResponse program equips health professionals to foster resilience and instill hope in agricultural communities that are in desperate need of both. For more information and to access open seats, go to agrisafe.org. FarmResponse is listed in the Suicide Prevention Resources Best Practices Registry.
