In the Know is a mental health literacy program designed specifically for farmers, their families and those who are involved and/or support the agriculture sector. Through this free, four-hour workshop, participants will engage with others in the ag community from across Ontario. The workshops are facilitated by one of CMHA’s mental health professionals using ‘real-life’ examples from agriculture.

Please note that these sessions are for Ontario residents. If you are looking for information on In the Know in another province, you can reach out to Kristen Kelderman at the Canadian Centre for Agricultural Wellbeing at kkelderman@ccaw.ca
