Cooperative Extension: Agriculture

November 7th: “Farm Stress Training for Agriculture Service Providers” virtually at 9:30 to 12:30am, hosted by the University of Maryland Extension. This workshop is designed for Agriculture Service Providers to equip them with the skills and knowledge to support farms and farm families in times of distress. The University of Maryland Extension Farm Stress Management Team will train service providers to identify signs of distress, develop skills to communicate with those experiencing stress, and provide resources both locally and nationally. Financial and regulatory topics will also be discussed as they are often contributors to stress on the farm. For more information contact Ryan Salsman, Farm Stress Program Coordinator, University of Maryland Extension (240-623-6731/rsalsman@umd.edu). To register visit the registration page. The program is open to all. If you need special accommodations please contact the organizers two weeks prior to the event.
