Webinar Series Focuses on Tools to Address Farmer Stress

A four-part virtual series beginning May 28, 2026, will help agricultural service providers, producers, and farmworkers strengthen skills and confidence in your ability to use proven communication tools to reduce all types of risks and build resilience in your community members and their enterprises. This four-part webinar series (May 28, June 4, June 11, and June 18, 2026) will provide an overview and model the Confident Conversations Curriculum developed by University of Delaware Cooperative Extension and colleagues. The training addresses development of communication skills and increases knowledge about mental health, stress, and stigma, and the impact these have on producers and their families. Funding for this program came from Cultivemos and the NIFA/USDA Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network.
