KILMALLOCK Macra is hosting a virtual mental health and wellbeing talk this Thursday, January 28 at 7pm.
Farming is a lonely pursuit at the best of times but even more so under Covid with less opportunities to meet people. Many more are working from home in their kitchen table or bedroom for the first time and missing meeting colleagues in the office. While more are at home on the Covid payment.
This talk will be hosted by Elaine Houlihan and Laoise Bennis of Kilmallock Macra.
“There is a brilliant line-up including Ciaran Carey, Mattie White, Lauren Guilfoyle, Ciaran Jonathan Dwyer and John Keane. All speakers will talk about their own personal journeys and how they overcame challenges they were presented with,” said Elaine.

Mattie White is a farmer from Co. Wexford that is known in the farming circle for speaking out about his battle with depression.
“White found himself in a bit of trouble with the bank and thought his only option was to end his life until he saw there was a light at the [end of the] tunnel and sold the land he owned,” Kilmallock Macra said.
