Although the initial outcomes from these natural hazards are typically obvious\, the long lasting impacts can be more difficult to identify because of the diversity of potential health burdens during the recovery phase. Mental health outcomes are one of the more complex relationships with natural hazards. The goal of this presentation is to build the link between human health and extreme weather and climate events. The discussion will be focused on rural populations. \nIntended Audience: farmers\, ranchers\, health and safety professionals\, ag producers\, agribusiness\, rural mental health professionals \nObjectives: At the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to….. \n– Describe the impact of climate on human health outcomes \n– Identify populations at risk for climate disasters \n– Better understand mechanisms of climate disasters \n– Understand the secondary health impacts from climate disasters \n– Explore the role that these issues play on mental health \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

Additionally\, noise exposure impacts multiple organ systems\, contributing to cardiovascular disease\, hypertension\, obesity\, and other highly prevalent diseases. Although the effects of noise can be mitigated through use of hearing protection and other strategies\, these methods are highly underused in this worker group. In this Webinar designed for agricultural producers who are military veterans\, learners will learn how to identify hazardous noise sources\, strategies to reduce exposure to hazardous noise; and select and use of strategies to protect themselves from the negative effects of noise on their hearing and general health. \nIntended Audience: Military Veterans engaged in agricultural production \nObjectives:\nUpon completion of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify harmful noise sources which have the potential to cause hearing damage and other health effects\nIdentify strategies to reduce exposure to hazardous noise\nDescribe appropriate selection and use of personal protective equipment\n\n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

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. \nObjectives: At the end of the presentation\, attendees will be able to: \n\nIdentify common human health risks faced during a farm flood.\nDiscuss prevention tips and injury prevention for common human health risks.\nIdentify special considerations for working with livestock during a weather event.\nDiscuss steps involved in developing a disaster preparedness plan and how to safety active a response.\nDiscuss appropriate respiratory personal protective equipment needed during flood recovery.\nIdentify warning signs for behavioral and mental health during and after recovery.\n\nIntended Audience: All individuals living/working on farms and ranches affected by flooding. \n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.

DESCRIPTION:Summary: In rural communities\, the stigma associated with mental distress is hard to confront. Rural agricultural residents pride themselves as hard-working and dedicated to the land. 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. \nIntended Audience: Community members\, agricultural producers\, farmworkers\, community leaders \nObjectives: At the end of this presentation participants will be able to- \n1. Identify two barriers as it relates to their community regarding mental health services and conversations among rural residents. \n2. Name three signs that signal mental distress in agricultural residents. \n3. Implement at least two statements or questions that can open conversation with someone you suspect is experiencing mental distress. \n4. Name a community-based mental health training that can be implemented to expand your community network of mental health neighbors. \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.
