Looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after your farm, your family, and yourself.
We understand that many farmers have concerns that seeking mental health support could put their firearms licence at risk. Getting support early does not mean you automatically lose your licence.
Our health professionals are here to work with you — to help manage stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, or low mood, and to put sensible plans in place if needed.
There's no judgment, just support.
You don't have to do this alone.
