The U of L School of Nursing is partnering with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) to implement a $500,000 grant to address stress, mental health and suicide prevention among Kentucky farmers and farm families. The grant was given to the KDA by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The grant will help expand the efforts of Raising Hope – Supporting Healthy Lives on Kentucky Farms, a campaign within the KDA focused on improving both the mental and physical health of agricultural producers.
The grant will fund initiatives related to mental health resource awareness.
