In a world where mental health remains a topic shrouded in stigma, it takes extraordinary individuals to sow the seeds of change.  None of us would likely be here without the farmers who work so tirelessly to plow the fields to give us all fresh produce, wheat, dairy and meat. The agricultural community has unique blessings and challenges that we need to tie a green ribbon around (for those wondering - this is a symbol of Mental Health Awareness when tied around a tree).Join us for an inspiring episode as we sit down with Laura, a passionate health communication officer at Agrisafe Network, who is cultivating a brighter future for those working in agriculture.In this heartfelt interview, Laura takes us on a journey through the groundbreaking initiatives undertaken by Agrisafe Network to provide essential mental health care to individuals in the agricultural community.Drawing attention to the critical issue of mental health in agriculture, Laura sheds light on the transformative power of the AgriStress hotline number and the 9-8-8 suicide hotline number. Discover how this lifeline is saving lives, providing a beacon of hope for those in distress. June is the third month with the highest rates of suicide in our country. If you or a loved one is struggling, please reach out. There is a solution, and I believe you'll find it through your passion, and sometimes that passion is reawakened through talking to someone, connecting to an animal, nature, or doing hard physicial labor or challenging mental work.  Come back for more on this next week with Farm Fit Momma, Amanda Nigg.Find Laura at:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siegellaResources:Website: https://www.agrisafe.org/AgriStress Helpline: 833-897-2474Trevor Project: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/Sage: https://www.sageusa.org/Veterans Crisis line: https://www.veteranscrisisline.net/Farm fit momma: https://www.farmfitmomma.com/Work with Me:https://www.catcaldwellmyers.com/work-with-meJust says "buy the book on Amazon!"Support the showUpcoming events:The 2024 Adventure Paradox Digital Course HOLIDAY PRESALEConnect with me here:www.catcaldwellmyers.com@catcaldwellmyersThe Adventure Paradox Podcast Page (Fb)

Geriatric medicine focuses on healthcare for adults over the age of 65, and falls are a common and serious health concern for this population. Falls are often multifactorial, usually associated with a decline in someone's cognitive or physical ability. Every year, more than 1 in 4 adults over the age of 65 fall at least once, but less than half tell their healthcare providers. The most effective way to lower fall risk is to have a fall screening with a healthcare provider and to come up with preventative measures and interventions. Contact your local community center or senior center for information on exercise, fall prevention programs, and options for improving home safety.For more information on geriatric medicine, visit the American Geriatric Society's website. Learn more about falls in older adults, risk factors, prevention, and management by visiting the following sites:CDC's page on older adult fall preventionMedlinePlus's resources on falls and preventionThe Fall Prevention Center of Excellence's comprehensive resource database for independent living (from the USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology)CDC's STEADI program and resources (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries)AgriSafe Networks resources on slips, trips, and falls for agriculture workersHome modification to make your home saferHome modification suggestions for older adults in rural areasHome modification suggestions for renters with disabilitiesHome modification suggestions for older veteransElder fall prevention for Native AmericansHere are the links for the data referenced in this episode: age of agricultural producers, non-fatal injury data, and fatal injury data.Sign up for the AgriSafe newsletter: https://www.agrisafe.org/newsletter/View upcoming webinars: https://www.agrisafe.org/events/Script...

Pain is something that nearly everyone has experienced. Being involved in agriculture, often times this pain can be amplified. We are often times taught to hide or mask the pain when we instead should be taking measures to do something about it. Today we welcome back Tara Haskins from Agrisafe. We were introduced to Tara on episode 44 of the podcast. Agrisafe has an upcoming webinar that is focusing on talking to farmers about their pain. We then talk more in depth about pain and specifically about opioids and how they can affect us. You can find the link to that webinar here

Farmers face many challenges today, dairy farmers in particular. As many of you know, I worked on a dairy farm in my youth, so this conversation with Dr. Amanda Stone truly struck a chord with me. “Unless you really go to a farm and truly talk to that person and understand their situation, there’s really no way that you could understand them.” ~Amanda Stone, Ph.D. Dr. Amanda Stone is an Assistant Professor and Extension Dairy Specialist at Mississippi State University.  She earned her B.S. in Animal Sciences from the University of Findlay (2009) and her M.S. (2013) and PhD (2016) from the University of Kentucky.  She has co-authored 20 peer-reviewed manuscripts, 1 book chapter, and over 50 peer-reviewed abstracts and conference papers. She has received $3.9 million in grants since 2016, much of which is related to her work with farm stress and farmer mental health. She works with a team at MSU focusing on farm stress and opioid misuse that has received funding from USDA NIFA and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Association. She is a certified Mental Health First Aid instructor and works with AgriSafe as part of the Southern Farmers and Ranchers Stress Assistance Network. Her work on these teams revolves around her knowledge of the ag industry and experience with producer behavior and thinking. Dr. Stone’s goal in all her Extension work is to improve the lives of the producers who feed, clothe, and care for each and every one of us each day. She is a mom to two little boys and wife to a very patient husband.

Learn how to access AgriSafe's free online trainings for use in the classroom. Educators can be certified to train on six AgriSafe modules (targeted for ages 16-23). Generous sponsorship allows AgriSafe to provide free course instruction and training materials. Under our open share platform, once certified, you may use the training materials in your classroom setting.

We’re talking about occupational health issues within the agricultural community with Knesha Rose-Davison, the Health Communications Director at AgriSafe.  “We known farming is a tough occupation but they have some of the hardest working, and most dedicated people…” ~Knesha Rose-Davison Knesha was born in Arkansas Delta, with many of her family members working in agriculture. She received her Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences in 2002, and in 2016, obtained a certificate in Agricultural Medicine, focusing on rural occupational health and environmental health safety. At AgriSafe, they focus on protecting the people that feed the world, and through the Total Farmer Health Program, Knesha and her team is able to look at all of the potential factors that can affect a producer’s health and wellbeing.  “Everything impacts a farmer or producer’s life and we have to take that into consideration…and try to provide information to help them alleviate some of those concerns…” ~Knesha Rose-Davison Knesha also serves as the 72nd president of the Louisiana Public Health Association and is a March of Dimes Gretchen C. Carlson Advocacy fellow. She has covered the spectrum on care, ranging from infants to the elderly, and eventually took her position with AgriSafe, bringing her back to her Delta roots. Knesha has over twelve years of public health experience, and is passionate about serving vulnerable populations and increasing health care access and equity.  Below are the resources mentioned during our conversation: AgriSafe Mental Health Resource Total Farmer Health (web link) https://www.agrisafe.org/total-farmer-health National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-327-6243 http://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ Farm Aid Farmer Hotline: 1-800-FARM-AID (1-800-327-6243)  https://www.farmaid.org/our-work/resources-for-farmers/ AgriSafe Think Tank
