Manitoba Farmer Wellness Program extends to employees

“Farm businesses traditionally lack dedicated health and wellness programs for employees, yet the stress of the job is real. We want to change that narrative,” Hacault said.

The adjustments came because of direct requests from the farming community, according to Hacault.

“We were approached by farmers to enhance the coverage of our program,” he said. “As we are a grassroots organization open to hearing from our stakeholders, we’ve embraced this opportunity to extend our support to all farm employees.”

MFWP vice chair Roberta Galbraith said the organization remains dedicated to its vision of mental wellness for Manitoba farm families, and to bridging the gap in mental health services for the agriculture industry.

“We are thankful for the unwavering support received from the agriculture community thus far through building awareness of our program, financial support, and the growing need for the services we provide,” she said.
