Mental health support workshops coming to Wide Bay-Burnett region
The impacts of drought, COVID-19, labour shortages and water challenges are taking their toll on farmers in the Wide Bay-Burnett region with many in the sector fearing that this may have serious consequences for peoples’ mental health and wellbeing.
The OzHelp Foundation, a provider of workplace wellbeing programs specialising in mental health and suicide prevention, will deliver mental health support workshops in the Wide Bay-Burnett region on the 6th and 7th of May.
These workshops have been specifically developed for frontline agricultural workers such as agronomists, bank managers, industry groups and agribusiness advisors, those who work in farming or agriculture, members of the community, and other professionals or service providers who live and work in rural communities.
