Mental health in agriculture
Agriculture is a demanding career, with its own set of unique stressors that can take their toll on mental health. Together with our provincial, territorial and industry partners, the Government of Canada is continuing to explore ways that our policies, programs and services can further support initiatives to address the unique mental health challenges faced by all producers and their families.
