Proactive and Reactive Society: Focus on Rural Mental Health
2019-08-14 12:00 - 13:00
Stress and anxiety over things we have no control over can overwhelm us to the point where we have no energy left to focus on the things we do have control over. 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.
Rural 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.

Providing Culturally Competent Care for Farmers and Farm Families, With Emphasis on Mental Well-Being
2019-10-24 12:00 - 13:00
Summary: Alarming rates of suicide among production farmers have prompted public health officials to increase the awareness and cultural understanding of providing wholistic care for those in rural agricultural areas. 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.
Objectives: By the end of the webinar, participants will be able to:

Have a greater understanding of the agrarian culture.
Apply key concepts of the culture when proving healthcare for farmers and farm families.
Identify barriers of seeking mental wellness in a rural, agricultural community

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.
Intended audience: Dairy producers, those who work with dairy producers (i.e. nurses, bankers, feed salesmen, etc.), and consumer
Objectives: By the end of this presentation participants will be able to:

Explain how milk gets to the store, including the supply chains associated with the producer, processor, retailer, and consumer.

These characteristics are sometimes in direct conflict with asking for help and self-care, leaving those around them at a loss for words and action. This presentation attempts to use the strengths of rural- self-reliance of communities and being a good neighbor- to frame the conversation of mental health and mental distress. Approaches to community assessment, community resources, and effective training programs to help rural residents craft solutions to grow a community network of mental health neighbors will be shared.
Intended Audience: Community members, agricultural producers, farmworkers, community leaders
Objectives: At the end of this presentation participants will be able to-
1. Identify two barriers as it relates to their community regarding mental health services and conversations among rural residents.
2. Name three signs that signal mental distress in agricultural residents.
3. Implement at least two statements or questions that can open conversation with someone you suspect is experiencing mental distress.
4. Name a community-based mental health training that can be implemented to expand your community network of mental health neighbors.

Farm and Ranch Health Threats After a Flood
2020-09-01 12:00 - 13:00
Summary: Disaster recovery can be as dangerous as the disaster itself, especially if no disaster preparedness plan was implemented. This is especially true on farms and ranches where inherent farm hazards such as machinery and equipment, livestock, and agriculture chemicals are displaced and co-mingle, putting all emergency response personnel, farm workers and family members in danger. Floods can heighten the risk of health threats such as mold, tetanus bacteria, contaminated well water, heat illness and high stress. This presentation will highlight basic precautions to prevent possible diseases and injuries during and after flooding.
Objectives: At the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to:

Identify common human health risks faced during a farm flood.
Discuss prevention tips and injury prevention for common human health risks.
Identify special considerations for working with livestock during a weather event.
Discuss steps involved in developing a disaster preparedness plan and how to safety active a response.
Discuss appropriate respiratory personal protective equipment needed during flood recovery.
Identify warning signs for behavioral and mental health during and after recovery.

Intended Audience: All individuals living/working on farms and ranches affected by flooding.
