The Norfolk Family Health team is trying to fill in a much needed gap within our community.
That was Executive Director Robin Mackie.
Studies have shown that farmers can struggle mentally with the stresses related to the work, but often times won’t reach out for help.
One of the reasons is they feel that a professional won’t truly understand the struggles of their day to day life.
Now, after much training and work put into this specific areas, farmers in Norfolk have someone they can go to and speak with at the Norfolk Family Health Team.
Mackie says they are thankful for this program emerging and being able to provide it to the community – noting it was an area that was neglected for far too long.
