Farmer Mental Health
Since 2016, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr. Andria Jones-Bitton (Associate Professor, Department of Population Medicine & Director of Well-Being, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph) and Dr. Briana Hagen (Post-Doctoral Fellow, Department of Population Medicine, University of Guelph) on a number of different projects related to mental health among farmers and agricultural communities.
In the know
The In the Know program is geared toward helping farmers better identify, understand and cope with the many mental health challenges they face in their profession. I designed the logo and other visual elements for the program resources.
Emergency response Model
I worked with Dr. Jones-Bitton and Dr. Hagen and designed the Emergency Response Model for Mental Health During Agricultural Crises guidance document, which outlines evidenced-informed recommendations for attending to farmer mental health during times of agricultural crisis.
