Details
Over the years, farming has seen increasing pressure on those who work within the industry from financial worries, increasing competition, Brexit, the weather and now COVID. This has led to a rise in the number of farmers and farm workers taking their own lives.
NSFT’s Suicide prevention lead Liz Howlett and Emma Haley, who is charity manager for YANA (You Are Not Alone), will host this online suicide prevention event with a focus on farmers.
They will also be joined by farmer Kit Papworth, who lost his father, David, to suicide in in August 2018 at the age of 73.
