This FREE virtual interactive series is designed specifically for people in agriculture—farmers, ranchers, farm workers, agribusiness professionals, and their families—who face unique physical, financial, and emotional demands. Each session explores one of the 8 Dimensions of Wellness, connecting practical strategies to the realities of agricultural life, seasonal stress, and rural communities. Together, the series supports whole-person wellness to help participants build resilience, improve quality of life, and sustain both their livelihoods and their well-being over the long term. Join us for one, some or all sessions. Sessions will last one hour and will include discussions on each topic, guest speakers, resources, and interactive opportunities. Sessions will be recorded.
April 22 – Session 4: Emotional Wellness
Emotional wellness involves understanding, expressing, and managing emotions in healthy ways. Agricultural work can bring isolation, uncertainty, and high stress tied to weather, markets, and family responsibilities. This session offers tools to recognize stress, cope with pressure, and build emotional resilience during challenging seasons.
May-August 2026 – we will host book discussions and Resiliency Circles (dates TBA)
September Session 5: Social Wellness (date TBA)
Social wellness is about maintaining meaningful relationships and a sense of connection. People in agriculture often work independently or in small teams, which can limit social interaction. This session highlights the importance of support networks, communication, and staying connected to family, peers, and community.
October Session 6: Spiritual Wellness (date TBA)
Spiritual wellness centers on finding purpose, meaning, and values that guide daily life. For many in agriculture, a deep connection to the land, animals, and stewardship plays a central role in this dimension. This session explores ways to reflect, stay grounded, and reconnect with what gives your work and life meaning.
November Session 7: Intellectual Wellness (date TBA)
Intellectual wellness encourages curiosity, learning, and problem-solving. Agriculture constantly evolves with new technology, regulations, and practices, requiring adaptability and lifelong learning. This session focuses on staying mentally engaged, open to new ideas, and confident in decision-making.
December Session 8: Environmental Wellness (date TBA)
Environmental wellness involves creating and maintaining healthy, safe, and supportive surroundings. In agriculture, this includes both the natural environment and the work setting. This session addresses farm and workplace safety, sustainable practices, and how caring for the environment supports personal and community well-being.
This program series is brought to you by The Rural Resiliency Project. Along with the following collaborative program partners, The Cultivating Resiliency Program, Annie’s Project, and the Women’s Agricultural Leadership Program.
