SUMMARY:Farmer Stress Assistance and Wellness Event
DESCRIPTION:[row][column][textblock]  \nFarmer Stress Assistance and Wellness Event \nMonday January 22\, 2024 \n9am-3pm at the Resort at Port Ludlow \nFree event for farmers with delicious food provided! \nPre-registration is required: https://farmerhealth.brownpapertickets.com/ \nJoin us for a day of learning and reflecting on how to reduce and manage stressors on your farm with a focus on physical\, emotional\, mental and financial health. Farming can be extremely stressful. Agriculture is known to be a dangerous occupation full of potential stressors like weather\, changing economic markets and machinery breakdowns. When these start to compound many farmers experience excessive stress\, making it hard to move forward to positive solutions. Due in part to the stresses faced in farming\, agricultural workers have rates of suicide much higher than the average rate.  Farmers need resources and support now more than ever. How can farmers care for themselves to sustain their tenure in agriculture? We will explore this query. \nJoin us for a free workshop with lunch and snacks provided in a comfortable\, relaxed setting. Walk away with practical knowledge and resources on how to manage the stresses of agriculture. We understand that these topics may be challenging to address in our agriculture community\, yet necessary in order to be proactive in community health and wellbeing. \nSpeakers include WSU Extension\, AgriAbility\, Western Regional Agricultural Stress Assistance Program\, Jefferson Healthcare\, and Jefferson Public Health. \nTopics include: \n\nTaking care of the farmer and managing stress on the farm\nPhysical injury prevention\, proper body mechanics\, stretching techniques\nAssistive technology if injury occurs to keep you farming\nMental health resources\, suicide awareness and reduction through QPR training (Question\, Persuade\, Refer)\nLocal services: access to affordable primary care providers\, charity care and financial assistance\, harm reduction services\, and more\n\nPlease register here: https://farmerhealth.brownpapertickets.com/ \nLunch generously provided by the Port Townsend Food Coop. \nRetreat space generously sponsored by the Resort at Port Ludlow. \nWorkshop sponsored by the WSU Extension AgriAbility Program. \n[/textblock][/column][/row] \n\n        \n            \n                ↑\n                Back to top
