HALDIMAND—Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Brant Haldimand Norfolk is launching a new mental health awareness training program specifically for farmers and the agriculture community.

In the Know is a mental health literacy program developed at the Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, and was created specifically to educate the agricultural community. This half-day training program is being made available through CMHA Brant Haldimand Norfolk thanks to a partnership with the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA), the University of Guelph, and CMHA Ontario. Training will be delivered online until public health measures allow for in-person delivery.
