Strategies for Preventing Farm/Ranch Suicides and for Assisting Those Left Behind

Tuesday, November 30
3:00 – 4:00 p.m. ET
North Central Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Center Webinar Series presented by AgrAbility

Data show that suicide in the United States continues to be a major health issue. Tragically, farmers and ranchers have disproportionate rates of suicide in comparison to other occupations. This session will provide an overview of the latest data, examine factors that can put farmers and ranchers at higher risk, and identify practical, daily strategies that can be used on the farm or ranch to help improve mental health, alleviate depression, and reduce the risk of suicide. Additionally, the presentation will address the aftermath of suicide, and how we can best help the loved ones left behind.

Our Presenter:
Darla Tyler-McSherry is the founder and visionary of Ask in Earnest, an initiative designed to address mental health, depression, and suicide in the farm and ranch populations. She embraces the role of serving as an agent of positive change and advocacy for the farm and ranch populations.

She has bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Montana in health and human performance. Darla has been involved with college health for more than 27 years, and is the director of student health services at Montana State University Billings. She serves in various capacities for the American College Health Association and Rocky Mountain College Health Association. Additionally, she is the coordinator for the Yellowstone County DUI Task Force.

A question & answer period will follow the presentation.

FAQs for Learn Calendar Users:

Will a recording be available?

That is entirely up to the host of this webinar/online event. If this is an Extension Foundation hosted event - we will update this calendar listing with a link to the recording usually within 48 hours. Keep in mind, many of the offerings found here in Connect Extension are brought to you by your colleagues across the system. While we encourage them to update their listings with recordings, it is entirely up to them.

How do I know if it is an Extension-hosted event?

Extension Foundation posts publicly our events to two calendars - the Extension Foundation Member Calendar and the Opportunities for Cooperative Extension Calendar.  All other events coming from across Cooperative Extension are posted to the Learn Calendar or to one of the regional calendars. All calendars populate to the same main calendar on Connect Extension. To tell the difference between what events are posted to what calendars easily, you'll see the name of the calendar posted above the title of the event if you scroll to the top.

What if I have trouble accessing this webinar?

Please contact the author of this calendar event. The individual that posted this event will have their username automatically listed at the bottom of the body of their post, right above the social media buttons. When you hover over that name, you are able to send them a private message.
