The Suicide Awareness Council of Wellington-Dufferin is holding an event in Palmerston to promote mental health awareness in the agriculture community.
The event dubbed “In the Know” is a mental health awareness program for farmers and the agricultural community.
Participants will have the opportunity to expand knowledge about mental health including topics such as stress, depression, anxiety, substance misuse and suicide.
The event will take place November 17th from 11am-3pm with a box lunch provided at the Palmerston Legion at 260 Daly Street.
Last month the Ontario government committed more than $385,000 for the program, offered through Canadian Mental Health Association branches in rural and agricultural communities.
