The Farming Community Network (FCN) is asking farmers if they really are “as tough as old boots”, as part of a new initiative to encourage rural workers to talk about their mental health.
Posters created by the charity ask the question, before suggesting some of the ways farmers might put on a brave face and avoid talking about difficult topics such as suicide, bereavement, loneliness and feeling overwhelmed.
The campaign has been launched at the start of Mental Health Awareness Week (10-16 May).
The charity hopes people will share the poster with local GP surgeries, veterinary clinics, village halls and more to help let those living and working in rural and farming communities know that help is available.
