The Essex County Federation of Agriculture, OFA and the Canadian Mental Health Association – Ontario have partnered together to host a virtual In the Know training session for members. If you live or work in the agricultural community in this area, we encourage you to register for this workshop.

The session, which is free to attend, will take place on Thursday, March 24 from 1 pm – 5 pm. To register, please click here.

In the Know is meant for farmers, producers and persons with whom they have regular contact, including family members, peers and allies in the agricultural industry such as veterinarians, breeders, seed or feed salespeople, financial institutions, accountants or other community members.

The course provides education on topics such as stress, depression, anxiety, substance misuse and how to start a conversation around mental well-being.
