Farming Family Mental Health Resources

Mental health among farmers in Illinois is a pressing issue influenced by a complex mix of financial, environmental, and social factors. However, with targeted initiatives like the Farm Family Resource Initiative, support from the University of Illinois Extension, crisis hotlines, and community networks, progress is being made to address these challenges. Continued efforts to reduce stigma, increase accessibility to mental health services, and provide comprehensive support are essential for the well-being of Illinois farmers and their families.
