🌎 October 10 is World Mental Health Day

Mental health matters in every community—including agriculture. Today is an opportunity to check in with yourself and the people around you. A conversation, a listening ear, or connecting someone with the right support can make a difference.

Looking for mental health resources for yourself or someone you know? AgriSafe is here to help connect agricultural communities to support.

💚 AgriStress Helpline: Available 24/7 for farmers, ranchers, agricultural workers, and their families. Call or text 833-897-2474 to connect with support.

🔎 AgriStress Provider Directory: Connect with behavioral health professionals who have completed AgriSafe’s FarmResponse® training and understand the unique stressors of agriculture. Search by location, telehealth or in-person services, specialty, insurance accepted, and more: https://directory.agrisafe.org/

This World Mental Health Day, help us spread the word that mental health resources and support are available for agricultural communities.

One of our favorite parts of the I’m Thankful for Farmworkers Dinner happens before the program begins.

People find their seats and start talking.

Someone discovers they grew up near another guest’s hometown. A person who works in agriculture meets someone involved in community health. A longtime supporter welcomes a guest attending for the first time.

By the time dinner is served, the room holds connections that did not exist an hour earlier.

That feels fitting for an event honoring agricultural workers. Their lives and labor connect farms, businesses, families, and communities throughout our region. Many of those connections are easy to miss during the rush of an ordinary day.

On November 5, we are making time to notice them.

Come on your own, invite a friend, or gather a group around a table. We would be happy to welcome you.

Tickets for the I’m Thankful for Farmworkers Dinner are available through October 26: https://givebutter.com/2026Thankful
