Coffee and Conversation: Take care of your mental health
Victoria Hansen
Special to The Journal-Standard
May is Mental Health Awareness month. Farmers across our county, state and nation take such great care of the land and their livestock. But sometimes they forget to take care of themselves. During May and Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to remind farmers to put yourself first. A healthy farm needs a healthy you.
If you or someone you know is struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction or other mental health challenges, you are not alone. Reach out and ask for help. For signs and symptoms, as well as helpful tools, resources, and hotlines, go to ilfb.org/mentalhealthwellness. Remember we are stronger together.
