Do you work in farming or know someone that does? Living in our Parish – we all probably do!
Dorset Police Rural Crime Team need YOUR help:
“We are facing a mental health crisis, further impacted by coronavirus – and our local farming communities are particularly vulnerable due to high levels of poor mental health.
In Dorset, a group has come together to help tackle farmer’s mental health. They include: Farming Community Network (FCN), National Farmers Union (NFU), Dorset Council, Dorset Healthcare, Dorset Mind, Dorset Mental Health Forum, Dorset Police and Steps to Wellbeing.
The group aims to increase awareness of Wellbeing within farming and provide a range of targeted support such as signposting, training and events; that are easily accessed when someone needs urgent help.”
They have developed a short anonymous survey to start to identify people’s current understanding of mental health and whether there are any gaps in services.
The survey should only take approx. 5 minutes to complete. Please Click
