Starting September 1, farm families in three test areas will be able to access AgResolve, a free, confidential service that will put them in touch with professional support. Experts will offer help with stress reduction, better relationships, improved communication, parenting skills, money management and personal debt counseling. Consultations will be available for individuals, couples, children and families. At first, the assistance program will only be available to registered farmers in Haldimand and Norfolk, Cornwall (Stormont, Dunda and Glengarry) and Chathamâ€"Kent. But the hope is to turn the pilot project into a provinceâ€"wide initiative and perhaps even a national program. AgResoive was designed by Norfol R.E.A.C.H (a rural multiâ€"service organization) in response to a province« wide survey in which 84 percent said there was urgent need for a free, confidential service to help producers experiencing stress. According to AgResolve Coordinator Rick Gamble, farmers are entitled to the new services. “Through employee assistance programs, benefits like these are provided to almost everyone else from auto and postal workers to engineers, doctors and nurses," he says. It’s time agriculture was included. Families Seeking farmer-to-farmer support will find it through the Farm Line (a confidential, toll-free number 1- 800-451-2903).
