The Topic of Episode 2 touches everyone at some point in their lives. Your own mental health, the mental health of family, friends, co-workers, neighbour's, our heroes… everyone. Please listen with an open mind as we work to end the stigma of mental health issues. If you feel the need to ever reach out to talk with someone there is an extensive list below in the Episode description. These are all 100% anonymous, safe and supported by people that are ready to listen to you. Thank you Cynthia for your time speaking about Mental Health in Agriculture. The busiest season for the vast majority of those making a living Ranching and Farming is right around the corner, keep yourselves FUELED! Keep yourselves and everyone around you safe.
I believe Robin Williams said it best, “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.”
Thanks for listening,
Kurtis Reid
