AgCulture is a free monthly mental health literacy workshop designed specifically for health professionals who want to better understand the unique realities facing Canadian farmers and ranchers.

📅 Sessions run monthly with the next happening on April 29

AgCulture builds awareness of agricultural stressors, strengthens therapeutic relationships with rural clients, and equips participants with culturally competent, practical skills to better support farming communities.

Ideal for social workers, psychologists, nurses, physicians, and anyone working at the intersection of health and rural life.

Facilitated by Bonnie Taylor, MSW, RSW, a psychotherapist and member of the rural agricultural community who brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to this work.
