Collapse ▲In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which wrought devastation across Western North Carolina already estimated in the tens of billions of dollars, farmers in the region are left picking up the pieces — physically and psychologically.
Already one of the most dangerous and emotionally-taxing professions, agriculture can be a feast-or-famine endeavor in more ways than one. During times of natural disaster, for example, farmers are faced not only with the loss of property and possessions, but family legacies and livelihoods.
Farmers dealing with mental health and farm stress issues should call the North Carolina Farm Help Line at 1-844-325-3276.
But they are not alone. Help and resources are available to see them through the tough times.
The North Carolina Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network (FRSAN), an initiative of the N.C. Agromedicine Institute coordinated by East Carolina, N.C. A&T State and NC State universities, provides farmers and others working in agriculture-related settings a variety of stress assistance resources and programs.
One such resource is the North Carolina Farm Help Line. Available 24/7, the help line connects farmers, farmworkers and their families with mental health support, as well as financial, legal and other assistance as needed.
1-844-325-3276
Call or Text | Available 24/7
Callers are matched with a specially-trained farmer or rancher who personally understands the unique stresses associated with agriculture and farming. They can help those in need work through their mental health challenges while guiding them to the resources best suited to their needs.
Find additional information in FRSAN’s N.C. Farm Stress Resource Directory.
