Many farmers struggle in silence, are more likely to experience depression and anxiety, and are almost twice as likely to be impacted by suicide compared to the general population.
Farming in Australia is not for the faint-hearted and our farmers are recognised for being tough and resilient. But does this also contribute to the enduring stigma farmers face when it comes to their mental health?
Shockingly, it is estimated that one Aussie farmer dies of suicide every 10 days. The impact on farming families and communities is huge.
The Aussie Helpers team is driven every day to ensure farmers know that help is just a phone call away. We provide open ears, minds and arms for farmers who simply need to know they are supported.
Our team members are all certified Mental Health First Aiders and our regular farm visits are a vital lifeline to many farmers and their families.
We also connect farmers with additional health services.
