Following extensive engagement with farming and agricultural communities, partners across the district are working together to provide tailored mental health support.
More than 70 farming and agricultural workers responded with their thoughts on mental health provision.
Bassetlaw Place Based Partnership, along with other partners across the district are now working together to Focus on Farmers and signpost them to the wealth of help and support they can access. The top five areas were:
- Mental health
- Community support
- Physical health
- Cancer screening and support
The Bassetlaw Focus on Farmers scheme aims to dispel some of the myths and misconceptions those farmers told us they had around accessing mental health services in Bassetlaw, particularly around confidentiality.
