Farm
Family Stress and Depression: A Checklist and Guide for Making Referrals
"The last few years have been difficult for farm families. Many are
experiencing financial and emotional stress as a result. There are several signs
or symptoms that a farm family may be in need of help. These are signs that can
be observed by friends, extended family members, neighbors, milk haulers,
veterinarians, clergy persons, school personnel or health and human service
workers." Robert Fetsch & Roger Williams have developed a
comprehensive checklist and guide for use in the field when visiting farmers,
attending meetings, and working with other ag professionals around the state.
