    Digging in with UFA - Rural Mental Health

    On the farm, preparing and protecting yourself from the hazards and dangers associated with the labour of production can be a taxing endeavor. So much so that we tend to forget about the mental stressors that can creep in. When it comes to mental health, what do advocacy and outreach look like? How deep does the stigma associated with mental health struggles run within agricultural communities? What do we do to change things? This week we are digging in on rural mental health. Join us for an honest and real conversation with Leslie Kelly, Social Media Mental Health Advocate, Do More Ag Founder, and Saskatchewan Farmer, along with Shaun Haney, Host of Realag Radio on SiriusXM and Founder of realagriculture.com. Together, we'll explore mental health in Canadian agriculture. Guided by our host Don Shafer, in partnership with UFA Co-operative, we're ready to dig in. Are you?
