Taking the bull by the horns to tackle mental health in the Herefordshire farming community
You are not alone
Every day, farmers are exposed to loneliness, isolation and pressure. Sadly, every week, at least one person will take their own life.
Which is why We Are Farming Minds was created. To raise mental health awareness, support the Herefordshire agricultural community and say to every farmer – you are not alone.
Supporting each other
Poor mental health in farming is 46% higher than in other occupations. Yet rural communities have less access to support. We aim to change that.
Mental Health Awareness Workshops
Our Mental Health Awareness Workshops are designed to equip people within the farming community with the knowledge and confidence to recognise the signs of poor mental health and know how to respond with understanding and compassion.
These free sessions are open to anyone connected to farming across Herefordshire, from farmers and family members to vets, agricultural professionals and rural businesses. By raising awareness and encouraging open conversations, we aim to create a stronger, more supportive farming community where no one feels they have to struggle alone.
Fundraising
We are a registered charity and grow through fundraising.
To raise awareness and support, we need to raise money. Find out how you can do your bit.
