I want to add that I think this is where Dr. Jones-Bitton's work really comes in handy. She's been doing a lot of participatory research with farmers and is advocating for a centre of research, a central hub in Guelph where we can talk to farmers and make sure that the programming that's designed for them works for them.
I would also recommend that anybody who works with farmers day to day—whether an industry association person, a feed rep, a manufacturer or a banker—take a mental health first aid course so they can recognize the signs of somebody in distress, make themselves feel comfortable asking farmers how things are going, and know where the resources are.
