Often times, the only people farmers see during the day are those coming to the farm: milk haulers, agronomists, ag lenders, crop sprayers, etc. But when you’re out there making farm visits, do you know what to look for if a farmer is suffering? And if you are seeing the signs, do you know what to do to help?
Mental Health First Aid is a one-day course that teaches you how to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis. This training helps you identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses.
This Dan Muxfeld Training LLC mental health course is taught by a certified instructor and follows a national curriculum and teaching standards, while emphasizing hope for recovery.
The course will be co-taught by Alison Kepner, who is a financial officer with Compeer and a Mental Health First Aid instructor. Alison works to promote resilience and strong mental health amongst hundreds of farm operators and their families in south central Wisconsin.
