Are you considering what your best investment could be at Southern Australia’s single biggest agricultural event… maybe it’s you? We often think of what farm equipment, technology, or advice we might need to invest in to make our farms and businesses more profitable.
However, Rural Adversity Mental Health Program (RAMHP) coordinators are suggesting that after all the adversity we’ve faced recently, it might be a good opportunity to invest in looking after yourself, which is by far your most important asset on farm.
RAMHP encourages anyone attending Henty Field Days
After two years of cancellations due to COVID-19, RAMHP is eager to return to Henty Field Days in 2022. Committed to both the rural community and the primary industry, this premier event provides a unique and valuable opportunity for those in rural communities to come together and connect, particularly after a few tough years.
RAMHP encourages anyone attending Henty Field Days to come by site 620, drop in and have a chat, take the time to invest in your most valuable piece of equipment – you.
The Henty Field Days will be held at 22 Lubkes Road, Henty NSW from 20-22 September 2022.
RAMHP Coordinator, Faith Rogers says farming has a lot of moving parts and stress can have a major impact on your ability to make decisions.
“There’s a lot of complexity in terms of scheduling, maintaining equipment, managing resources, and looking after stock,” said Faith.
“There are so many things people can’t control, so it’s about prioritising you and your business to make the best decisions possible. Looking after your wellbeing is so important and self-care is the best way to ensure you have capacity to keep up with all the aspects of your business and lead your team by example,” said Ms Rogers.
The Rural Adversity Mental Health Program (RAMHP) has 20 Coordinators based across regional, rural and remote NSW who inform, educate and connect individuals, communities and workplaces with appropriate services and programs.
