Blueprint
For a Mental Health Action Plan
for Nova Scotia Farmers
While we are happy to provide a number of diverse supports and resources, we know more work must be done. To address this need, we have developed a Blueprint for a Mental Health Action Plan for Nova Scotia Farmers, a project that was made possible through the Canadian Agriculture Partnership (CAP) COVID-19 Agriculture Response Program.
CAP’s funding has supported the development of this Blueprint for a Mental Health Action Plan for Nova Scotia’s Farm Community, as well as the creation of the We Talk. We Grow. public awareness campaign.
The team at Farm Safety Nova Scotia is referring to this document as a “blueprint” for an action plan, rather than an action plan itself. The reason being the approach needs to be shared-with, consulted-with and discussed-with our industry and government partners in order for the way forward to be fully embraced and supported by all necessary change makers.
