#AgWell
Let’s restore a mental health program for farmers and ranchers that is paused due to federal funding cuts. AgWell works in rural Colorado where the suicide rate is double that of the general population. I'll match the next fifty $5 donations here: www.coloradogives.org/story/U85raf

Tomorrow starts mental health awareness month.

Farmers face one of the highest suicide rates of any profession.

Now, critical programs are being defunded.

The USDA froze #AgWell, a lifeline for farmers in CO, NM, and WY.

AgWell, a project of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union Educational and Charitable Foundation, fights the isolation and stress of life in agriculture. The non-profit organizes community gathering where neighbors check up on neighbors and refer people to mental health support.

Hear me loud and clear: This decision WILL cost lives.

At the start of Mental Health Awareness Month, the mental health lifeline is being axed for #CO farmers + ranchers, a population whose suicide rate is 2 times higher than average.

This is despicable. This is cruel. This is unAmerican.

The 2018 Farm Bill created the AgWell program to support farmers' mental health.

But as Trump's trade war devastates rural communities, the USDA canceled grants for the program earlier this year — cutting mental health support exactly when farmers need it most.

During trump's first presidency, farmers were literally committing suicide left and right due to his inept policies. And.. they voted for him again. Guess you really do reap what you sow.

“…the number one protective factor against mental illness and suicide is having a supportive social network. Particularly in these rural communities, when there aren’t very many third spaces, anything we can do to provide that social network is a protective layer.”
