Farm Stress Resources
SDCA recognizes the unique position our farmers and ranchers find them in. Often times, these individuals are the ones who are hesitant to seek out mental health resources. In 2019, The South Dakota Farm & Ranch Stress Summit was held in Chamberlain. This event was hosted by SDSU Extension and the South Dakota Counseling Association.
Here are some videos of the breakout sessions that were provided. Thank you to SDSU Extension for making these recordings available.
