That's what Do More Ag is trying to do. Right now they've partnered with FCC and bringing mental health first aid into rural communities. That's a huge step forward, because we can be at a certain place where we're able to realize, “Okay, we need to talk about it. Maybe we need to reach out for help”, but there are a lot of times when we don't know we're there. Unless you've been trained in mental health first aid, you don't know how to recognize that.
The people we deal with the most may be the input people, the other farmers when we're in our busy seasons, or our bankers. It's important for those people to know how to identify that I'm struggling and that maybe they need to help me get help. Bringing mental health first aid into rural communities, if we can, would be really crucial.
