Farm Stress Management and Resources for Maryland Service Providers

Farm stress management training will equip 150 agricultural providers with skills and knowledge to support farm families in times of distress. This project will increase the provider’s ability to identify signs of distress, communicate with someone experiencing distress, and provide resources and tools to manage stress on the farm. Approximately 60% of the providers will utilize the knowledge and skills to reach an estimated 1,300 individuals resulting in increased well-being of farm families. This project is funded by Northeast SARE, Professional Development Program.
