Navigation of the teen years in everyday situations can create angst and uncomfortable feelings that are difficult to express. Adding mental illness and mental crisis to a teen or young adult’s typical growth and development makes struggling with emotions\, relationships\, academic success\, and safety more challenging. According to the CDC\, rates of depression and anxiety climb significantly during the ages of 12-17. Suicide is the second leading cause of death of youths in the United States. This module opens an introductory discussion of mental health among teens and young adults with guidance from an adult educator. Focus is placed on decreasing stigma\, improving mental health literacy\, and positive coping skills for teens and young adults. The module showcases a high school agricultural student’s understanding of the agricultural mental health crisis\, helping to frame mental health distress to academic and future career success. \nObjectives: After the module\, teens and young adults will be able to…. \n\nUnderstand the relationship of mental health to physical health and academic or career success\nRecognize basic signs or symptoms that present when young adults experience mental stress\nIdentify healthy and unhealthy coping behaviors when faced with mental distress\nCommunicate their concerns when suspecting they or someone they know is experiencing a mental health crisis\n\nIntended Audience: This Train the Trainer course is designed for teachers\, Extension staff\, 4H and FFA leaders and others who work with young adults. \n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

Prescribing opioids to farmer populations that may not seek regular treatment or have access to alternative therapies increases the risk for potential opioid misuse. Properly assessing for these characteristics among other abuse or addiction risk factors\, is critical in providing treatment that is both appropriate and effective. The training module will seek to provide insight on misuse risk factors among farmers to better inform healthcare providers on warning signs in this specific cohort. \nBy the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nList potential risk factors for opioid misuse among farmers.\nUnderstand proper opioid misuse assessment strategies.\nIdentify effective alternatives for treating chronic and acute pain among farmers\n\n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

Small family farms have been going out of business faster than any time in recent history and even milk cooperatives that buy milk from the farms have claimed bankruptcy. At the start of 2020\, the end of the four-year milk price nightmare was starting to come to an end and producers saw the light at the end of the tunnel to start digging themselves out of. Then COVID-19 hit. This pandemic rocked the system in an unprecedented and unpredicted way. With this comes intense farm stress\, despair\, and desperation for many. Understanding how the system works – or doesn’t – is important because dairy producers work 24/7/365 to provide our families a safe and nutritious food. The very least we can give them is an attempt to understand and help them when they need it. \nIntended audience: Dairy producers\, those who work with dairy producers (i.e. nurses\, bankers\, feed salesmen\, etc.)\, and consumer \nObjectives: By the end of this presentation participants will be able to: \n\nExplain how milk gets to the store\, including the supply chains associated with the producer\, processor\, retailer\, and consumer.\nIdentify current and past market and industry stressors for dairy producers.\nDescribe the impact of this and other farm stress on a dairy producer’s livelihood and mental health.\n\n  \n This training has expired.

Unique aspects of farm life and farming can contribute to higher levels of depressive symptoms and increased stress. Higher levels of depression\, in addition to suicide\, can also increase a farmer’s risk of injury and development of chronic disease\, impacting overall quality of life. The agrarian culture is one of strong work ethic\, self-sufficiency\, conservative views\, and adherence to gender roles\, which can make discussion of mental well-being distinctly different from clients who are not from the agrarian culture. The training module will seek to provide insight on the aspects of providing healthcare for farmers and farm families as it relates to the culture and occupational aspects of farming and farm life. \nObjectives: By the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nHave a greater understanding of the agrarian culture.\nApply key concepts of the culture when proving healthcare for farmers and farm families.\nIdentify barriers of seeking mental wellness in a rural\, agricultural community\n\n  \n This training has expired.

Being 5% healthier may not seem like much of an improvement however\, it’s still better than the alternative which is no improvement. That often times turns into a worse-case scenario. Ted will emphasize simple tools to help break the stagnant cycle and how to strengthen family bonds during times of crisis. \nRural healthcare providers and safety professionals have an important role to play in supporting people experiencing stress or mental health challenges. Come listen as Ted Matthews talks about what we can do to be proactive and prepare ahead of crisis. Ted understands the demands farmers face because he counsels farmers in a plethora of areas from crisis intervention to helping farmers relate to their families and workers to better utilize their resources.  If you’re a rural health professional looking to integrate mental health counseling in your care\, take time to listen to Ted’s experiences.  He will help you rethink your approach to providing mental health support. \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

We’ll also discuss non-working children and visitors to farms and ranches\, and ways to keep them safe. \nFarms and ranches are great places to live\, work and play\, and there are numerous benefits to growing up on them. However\, agricultural worksites are among the most dangerous in the U.S.\, resulting in numerous injuries and fatalities to youth. For working youth\, too many of these injuries and deaths are the result of performing work that does not match their abilities. \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.
