Cultivating Resilience in Rural Communities

The Cultivating Resilience in Rural Communities toolkit was developed to support conversations on stress and mental health in the agricultural community.

The toolkit includes a discussion guide, participant worksheet, video and other materials that discussion leaders can use to plan, prepare and host a group conversation on mental health in agriculture in a community setting. The resources include the “nuts and bolts” of organizing, promoting and hosting a conversational event.
