This training is being delivered by Texas AgrAbility's Total Farmer Health Coach, Cene Cleaton, who is trained in health, safety, and agricultural cultural competencies. This training is part of a nationwide initiative to increase mental health support for farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.

Farmers and farm families have experienced increasing pressure resulting in high levels of stress, mental health issues, and suicide. The Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) training teaches laypeople and professionals to recognize and respond to mental health crises. QPR for Farmers and Farm Families is specially tailored to the agricultural community.

In this 1.5 hour QPR training, you will explore:

• How the unique challenges farmers face can lead to stress, depression, and suicide.
• Examples of how to implement each QPR component.
• Strategies for helping someone at risk of suicide.
