Suicide – it is not something that comes up in conversation every day. It’s a topic that most people skirt around, not quite knowing what to say or how to talk about it. But there are people listening. Many people have been touched by suicide and a handful of them are taking steps to improve mental health across the board.

Farmers today are experiencing a high rate of burnout, depression, and anxiety. Having someone to talk to is one of the best ways to help them work through and solve their problems.

AgKnow has partnered with AgSafe Alberta to host an In the Know workshop, a virtual mental health literacy course. In the Know is designed to help you learn about mental health and illness, promote well-being in your life, how to recognize when someone is struggling, and how to respond.
