#4 Adrienne DeSutter: Sow Hope Grow Hope with Farmers Mental Health
Adrienne DeSutter is a Rural Mental Health speaker, educator and farmer. Today we talk about mental health on farms. Why seeking help is so difficult and why farmers don’t get help for their mental health.
Topics Covered:
Why is farming stressful?
How to find a counselor or therapist?
Why getting on the same page helps farm families stay on the same page
Why rural mental health is so important
Adrienne is part of her husband's fourth generation farm family in midwest Illinois. They farm corn and soybeans, with a small herd of cattle and a small herd of children. With a Master’s degree in Counseling (and a self-proclaimed Master's in Farm Family Chaos), Adrienne recognized a need for mental health advocacy in agriculture, and began partnering with ag businesses and organizations to promote healthy minds and prevent farmer suicide. In addition to public speaking, she helps create and connect valuable ag mental health resources, writes a wellness column, and has been featured in articles, podcasts, and initiatives across the globe. She encourages a community approach to keeping farm families healthy, and works to break down mental health barriers and empower farmers through her social media presence, @SowHopeGrowHope.
