Cultivemos – The Network for Farmer Well-being
Agriculture is an economic and social bedrock of the United States, yet for decades, farmers, ranchers, and farmworkers have endured growing challenges that increase their levels of stress.
Cultivemos (formerly known as FRSAN-NE, the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network Northeast) aims to improve behavioral health awareness, literacy, access, and outcomes for farmers, ranchers, and farmworkers in the Northeast by developing a service provider network that can assist and meet the unique needs of agricultural workers.
Feel free to reach out to cultivemos@youngfarmers.org for any questions or concerns.
Meet the 2021 Cultivemos Advisory Board!
Our mental health resources page has resources on COVID-19 aid, financial support, and suicide prevention.
