The DATCP Farm Center was recently awarded $500,000 from the USDA Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network to promote, develop, and increase stress management and mental health resources for Wisconsin farmers.
This investment is in addition to the $100,000 included in Governor Evers’ 2021-2023 budget to provide services including the 24/7 hotline, counseling vouchers, and farmers’ mental health support groups.
The DATCP will use the funding to Promote stress management and mental health programming for Wisconsin farmers and to adapt existing farm management, financial, and mental health resources into formats that are more easily accessible by Hmong and Latinx farmers.
