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.

However\, agriculture is one of our most hazardous occupations\, and the only worksite where children of any age can legally be present. The purpose of this presentation is to increase knowledge and awareness of agricultural child injuries\, and extend the reach and dissemination of childhood agricultural injury prevention (CAIP) strategies and resources. \nBy the end of this webinar participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe the benefits and risks of growing up on a farm\nIdentify effective safety policies and strategies\nIdentify resources and organizations that can work together to promote farm safety\n\n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

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 also know that agricultural work can be dangerous\, and that many youth are injured or killed while working in agricultural jobs. \nJoin us as we discuss strategies to help safeguard our youth\, such as assigning age appropriate tasks\, providing good supervision\, addressing hazards\, and providing personal protective equipment.

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.

Young workers who live and work on farms are also exposed to potentially dangerous farm-related hazards. Farm operators who hire youth to work on their farm should be aware of all applicable child labor laws. \nAt the conclusion of this program\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify physical and psychological developmental factors to consider when employing and training young adults in the agricultural sector. \nDefine agricultural hazards and exposures that increase the risk of injury and illness among the young worker.\nDescribe regulatory standards that can promote a safe work environment for young employees. \nCreate action steps that can reduce agricultural injury and illness. \n\n This training has expired.
