YANA: help for those involved in agriculture and other rural businesses affected by stress and depression
Working in agriculture and the countryside is usually a good way of life but it is a demanding and stressful occupation. So, it’s not surprising that many people involved with agriculture can feel isolated, depressed or unable to cope as well as normal.
1 in 4 people in the UK will experience poor mental health so it is important to know that you, or the person you are concerned about, are not alone
Those who work in agriculture and other rural businesses are often reluctant to seek support for depression, stress or anxiety. However, talking about your problems and seeking appropriate help can make it easier to cope and can improve your quality of life.
YANA is here to help
If you are involved with agriculture or another rural business in any way and are feeling low or struggling, or if you are worried about a member of your family, a colleague or a friend, YANA can help.
Call our helpline 0300 323 0400 for confidential support every Monday to Friday between 10am and 1pm to speak to someone directly. Outside of these hours leave a message and receive a callback, or email helpline@yanahelp.org.
