The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), Ontario has launched the latest initiative in a suite of programs focused on agriculture wellness in Ontario. The Guardian Network is a volunteer-driven community-based suicide prevention network to support the well-being of Ontario’s farmers. CMHA Ontario is currently training volunteers from within the agricultural community to learn how to recognize mental health concerns and access appropriate supports.

This project is provided with funding by the governments of Canada and Ontario, including support from the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year federal provincial-territorial initiative.
With The Guardian Network, Farmer Wellness Initiative, and In the Know, CMHA Ontario and our partners are working to ensure the ongoing well-being of Ontario’s farming community.
