The University of Guelph and the Canadian Centre for Agricultural Wellbeing have started their 3rd National Survey of Farmer and Rancher Mental Health in Canada. This survey investigates depression, anxiety, burnout, suicide ideation, resilience, stress, and coping in farmers and ranchers from any commodity across Canada. In addition to providing updated statistics on farmer mental health, the findings from this study will be compared with data previously collected in our 2021 and 2016 mental health surveys.
The goal of this confidential survey is to investigate the relationships between stress and resilience, and to gather important information about the mental health of farmers and ranchers in Canada.
We anticipate the knowledge gained from this research project to be of great value to the agricultural industry in supporting producers and contributing to their overall well-being and health.
Thank you for your time and assistance with this research.
