Stress Management and Mental Health Awareness Webinar

April 29, 2020


Presented by: NY FarmNet's Kate Downes & Brenda O'Brien

There is no precedent with the novel coronavirus. Whatever our age, a life-altering event can leave us hoping there is some magical cure that will help us feel less anxious or overwhelmed. While no such magic exists, there are ways we can focus on the good.

Stress is inevitable - it's how you respond to and manage the cause, or stressor, that can make a difference in your daily life. Whether the stressor is a medical diagnosis, low milk and commodity prices, weather that impedes crop production, or tensions within the family, there are tools we can use to help manage our emotions during challenging times.

Join Kate and Brenda of NY FarmNet as they discuss managing stress and the impact it can have on mental health, building resiliency, suicide prevention, and the importance of breaking down the stigma related to these topics.

Format: Two one-hour sessions with a 10 minute break between each session

Where: via Zoom meeting - connection information will be provided in your registration confirmation email

Cost: FREE
