A spokesman for Farm Foundation says farmers are finding needed mental health resources through its confidential online platform.
Tim Brennan tells Brownfield the Farm Family Wellness Alliance and American Farm Bureau Federation partnered with Togetherall at the beginning of the year.
“We’re just seeing a tremendous amount of peer-to-peer support that says you know, hey, I’ve been where you’re at, here’s what I’ve done,” he explains. “Eighty percent of our users find the solution that they needed just by talking to each other.”
Togetherall offers an agricultural community space for farm family members 16 and older to share their challenges.
