Not only does the ag industry have some of the highest rates of fatalities and injuries across all age groups, it is also one of the top occupations with highest rates of death by suicide. That is why we started AgriStress Response, an initiative to increase positive mental health outcomes among individuals in agriculture, forestry, and fishing. Our mission is to respond to restore hope, where we take action to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and to increase awareness and access to support for mental health, stress, depression, anxiety, and suicide in agricultural communities.
