I think there are a lot of groups who are active in this picture. Obviously, we always think about the employer and the supervisor on the farm. There are a lot of initiatives that also happen in the community that have provided migrant workers with a lot of space to de-stress, to socialize and to have other aspects in their experience other than the hard work.
Oftentimes, churches are a good in, so when we first started working our program to try to connect with migrant workers, churches were a very big part of that. We would connect with them and they would give us almost an access to meet the community. The churches and community groups were really giving workers that space to relax and de-stress. There are libraries that have organized Skype calls, something so basic, so that people could talk to their families.
I do think that on the farm is so important because that's where they're spending most of their time. I think it really becomes imperative to have supervisors who are very well trained and have an understanding of mental health and stress, so they can really support the workers they're overseeing as well.
