June 17, 2024 - The Senate approved a resolution supporting the designation of May 29, 2024, as "Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day" to raise awareness around mental health in the agricultural industry and workforce and to continue to reduce stigma associated with mental illness (S.Res.710).
The resolution seeks to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and improve access to mental health resources for farmers, ranchers, and farm workers nationwide.
It has been supported by The National Rural Health Association, American Farm Bureau Federation, National Farmers Union, and other stakeholders in the industry.
