If you or someone you know is struggling, asking for help is not failure. Get the support you need to care for your mental and behavioral health and wellness, as well as your operation.

Farmers and ranchers are often expected to keep pushing through even when things start to pile up. Long hours, financial pressures, weather....... weather..... uncertainty, setbacks..... it can all become overwhelming. Unfortunately North Dakota has seen the largest increase in su***de rate over a 20 year period (CDC data).

Resilience can get us through difficult seasons but it doesn't mean we have to handle everything on our own. Sometimes it's recognizing when you need help and support and knowing where to turn.

Reach out to someone you trust....a friend, family member, neighbor, pastor .....anyone you feel comfortable talking to.

IF you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

Numerous crisis and counseling resources. We partner with Together Therapy and Wellness and Eyes on the Horizon.

We have several resources available: https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/ag-hub/ag-topics/farm-safety-health/managing-stress
