You Are Not Alone.
Help for those involved in farming and other rural businesses affected by stress and depression
Farming or working in the countryside is usually a good way of life but it is a demanding and stressful occupation. So, it’s not surprising that many people involved with agriculture can feel isolated, depressed or unable to cope as well as normal.
1 in 4 people in the UK will experience poor mental health so it is important to know that you, or the person you are concerned about, are not alone.
A voluntary organisation & charity that supports farmers and families within the farming community. Whether the issue is personal or business-related, FCN is here for you. We run a confidential, national helpline and e-helpline which is open every day of the year from 7am to 11pm and our volunteers provide free, confidential support to anyone who seeks help. Over 6,000 people a year benefit from FCN’s support and we can help with a variety of issues.
The importance of good mental health is increasingly being recognised across agriculture. Use this page to connect to useful initiatives and resources.
