Ben Law: Stress-onomics: Is stress and burnout impacting your profits

We delve into the impact of stress and mental health on family agribusinesses and explore tools to build resilience.

Stress, like an unnoticed oil leak, can lead to catastrophic consequences if ignored.

I've encountered numerous successful farming families facing roadblocks rooted in stress-related issues, impacting not only their personal lives but also the profitability of their businesses.

Today, we address these challenges with a focus on solutions.

Joining us is Letitia Cross, The Rural Mental Health Coordinator for the Rural Adversity Mental Health Program.

Letitia, with a background in corporate agribusiness and a Master's in Psychotherapy, brings valuable insights into how to improve your mental health.
