SUMMARY:NFSHW26: Practical Solutions for Burnout in Farm Families: Supporting Women Farmers\, the Sandwich Generation\, and Grandparents Raising Children
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Farm families are facing increasing emotional\, financial\, and caregiving pressures that place them at high risk for the effects of chronic stress. Women farmers often carry dual responsibilities of agricultural labor and family caregiving\, while many adults in agriculture are simultaneously caring for aging parents and children — the “sandwich generation.” In some farm families\, grandparents have also stepped into primary parenting roles due to family needs\, substance use\, or economic hardship. \nThis presentation will explore the unique mental health and wellness challenges affecting families in agricultural communities and provide practical\, realistic strategies that can be implemented within the demands of farm life. Topics will include recognizing signs of burnout and compassion fatigue\, setting sustainable boundaries\, trauma-informed approaches to caregiving\, building supportive community connections\, and creating wellness routines that fit agricultural lifestyles. \nIntended Audience: farmers\, farm families\, agricultural workers\, rural caregivers\, agricultural educators\, extension professionals\, healthcare and behavioral health providers serving rural communities\, and community organizations supporting agricultural populations. The content will be especially relevant for women in agriculture\, multigenerational farm families\, grandparents raising grandchildren\, and adults balancing caregiving responsibilities for both children and aging parents. Participants do not need a mental health background\, and the presentation is designed to provide practical\, accessible strategies that can be applied in everyday farm and family life. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to… \n\nUse actionable tools to improve resilience\, strengthen family relationships\, and support emotional wellness.\nImplement strategies for balancing the ongoing pressures of farming\, caregiving\, and multigenerational family responsibilities.\n\nPresenter: Rachael Reeder\, LCSW\, Executive Director\, Grafton \n Register Here  \n  \n Register for All 2026 NFSHW Webinars  \n  \n\nContinuing Education: The University of Cincinnati\, Department of Environmental and Public Health Sciences\, Education and Research Center offers 1.0 contact hours for this activity.
