This December, we’re highlighting mental health and su***de prevention across Ohio’s agricultural community.

In our latest podcast episode, first-generation farmer Nathan Brown opens up about scaling his farm, navigating drought, and the quiet mental load farmers often shoulder alone. He also shares real strategies, like finding your “five,” stepping away to reset, and normalizing counseling as a professional resource.

It’s an honest, necessary conversation for farmers, families, and anyone who supports rural Ohio.

🎧 Tune in and share to help break stigma and strengthen our farm communities: https://ow.ly/jOKS50XE4He

If you are prescribed a medication or you are a caregiver responsible for the prescription medication of someone else, there are ways you can help reduce the risk of medication misuse, theft, or accidental ingestion. Our partners Stark County HealthMobile created a great demo video!
