An inclusive network where diverse farming communities are seamlessly connected to mental health and stress assistance programs.
Agriculture is an economic and social bedrock of the United States, yet for decades, farmers, ranchers, and farmworkers have endured growing challenges that increase their levels of stress.
Farm Aid is a member of Cultivemos (formerly known as FRSAN-NE, the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network Northeast), which aims to improve behavioral health awareness, literacy, access, and outcomes for farmers, ranchers, and farmworkers in the Northeast by developing a service provider network that can assist and meet the unique needs of agricultural workers.

This work is supported by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network (FRSAN) project 2019-70028-30464 and 2020-70028-32729.
