Did you know that almost a quarter of farmers in Ireland are at risk of suicide? Research presented by Dr @tomas_russell & Dr @louisemchugh @ucdagfood makes for stark reading.
Mental health in farming needs a seat at the policy table, with farmers included & communicated with.

“As a farmer you’re expected to get on with things.” - we must turn the stark silence into practical supports.

I want to thank all contributors to today’s event on farming & mental health.

@tomvdkendelaere MEP for co-hosting.

An EU-wide mental health strategy is critical to address Europe’s silent pandemic. The contributions today at our Mental Health & Farming conference reaffirm that when we speak up we seek out support. @tomvdkendelaere “policy & practice need to reflect farmers are unique.”

RT @MyEDF: @MaxovaRadka MEP @MariaWalshEU: "the most effective way of combating social excusion and poverty is access to employment. We need to make sure we develop initiatives to help everyone thrive in the job market, but also to enhance conditions for formal and informal carers"

80% of care across the entire EU is provided by informal carers – and it’s vital they receive more support.
