Farmers bring a unique set of experiences, pressures, and strengths to conversations about mental health, and understanding that context makes a real difference in the support they receive.

AgCulture is a free, four-hour virtual workshop designed for health professionals who want to build stronger, more effective therapeutic relationships with agricultural clients. Facilitated by Bonnie Taylor, Psychotherapist and Registered Social Worker, the session explores the realities of farming culture, practical engagement strategies, and approaches to navigating mental health conversations with rural and agricultural clients.

The next session takes place online on Monday, October 27, 12 to 4 PM CST / 2 to 6 PM EDT. Open to social workers, psychologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, pharmacists, therapists, counsellors, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of farming culture through a mental health lens.

Registration is free, with support from Farm Credit Canada.

This Thanksgiving, we invite you to try a Gratitude Snapshot, with a community twist.

Name one thing you're grateful for in your agricultural community. It could be a moment of connection, an act of generosity, or a particularly meaningful conversation.

Sharing appreciation strengthens both our mental wellbeing and the connections that make agricultural communities so resilient.

We're thankful for you, and for the producers, families, and communities across Canada who make agriculture thrive.

Share your Gratitude Snapshot in the comments. 🍂

What happens when an audience stops watching a play and becomes part of it?

Season Two of Hay Are We Okay? continues with a conversation about Every Brilliant Thing, a one-person show that turns audience members into cast members, handing them lines on slips of paper and pulling them into a story about depression, su***de, and reasons to stay alive. By the end of the performance, the line between show and support group grows thin.

Host Merle Massie talks with Stephen Waldschmidt and Elizabeth Nepjuk about what makes this kind of participatory theatre so powerful, and why the most important conversations often happen after the curtain falls.

Sometimes the most helpful thing is connecting with someone who truly understands what agricultural life feels like.
