Western Wisconsin Chapter Annual Memorial Picnic

July 27, 2025 | Ellsworth, WI

Farmer Angel Network of Western Wisconsin, led by Jennifer Webster, held their annual picnic in memory of her father and farmer, Brian Webster, who died by suicide.

Guest speaker Shireen Sakizadeh, mental health advocate, coach and counselor shared her wealth of knowledge that branches from her own personal mental health journey as well as her professional life in nursing. She discussed accessing and navigating the mental health care pathway. Attendees received complimentary mental health navigation support.

Guests enjoyed Meatballs catering at the Sno Hill Chapel. The silent auction helped raise funds for the chapter.

The Chapter received media attention bringing awareness to the challenges faced by farmers and support available for them.
