launched a rural stress information
clearinghouse at www.extension.
uga.edu/rural. The site provides
resources from experts across the
country to help individuals recognize
a neighbor in crisis and connect
them with assistance. There are
also numerous resources on health
and wellness, financial planning,
dealing with stress and much more.

Extension agents and specialists are
working with farmers at commodity
production meetings across
southwest Georgia to jumpstart the
conversation about health, both
physical and mental. Extension
agents, who serve in every county
in Georgia and work closely with
the agricultural community, can
play a vital role in helping to
normalize conversations about
stress and mental health, said
Laura Perry Johnson, associate
dean for UGA Extension.
" Their Extension
agents and their
bankers know when
they're in trouble, and
they trust us. "
− Laura Perry Johnson,
University of Georgia
" I see us as a conduit between
our audience and the people who
can help them, " Johnson said.
" I'm not, in any way, trying to
turn us into counselors. But their
Extension agents and their bankers
know when they're in trouble, and
they trust us. "
UGA Extension has partnered
with local health care providers as
well as the Georgia Department
of Behavioral Health and
Developmental Disabilities
to combine the resources and
expertise of each organization.
" This is a complex, multi-faceted
problem and UGA Extension
is excited to convene a diverse
team of experts to help us address
this issue. So far, our efforts and
educational resources have been
very well received by farmers
and several have followed up to
avail themselves of the offered
counseling and other services, "
Johnson said. " My appreciation
goes to all of our partners as well
as the agriculture agents and
specialists who care so deeply
about the success and wellbeing of
their clientele. This is a new area
of education for us and slightly out
of our area of expertise but, with
the expertise of our partners, we
are able to help farmers get the
resources they need, and that is
ultimately the role of Extension. "
