  • Title
    • Mid-Leinster Farmer Wellbeing Project Stage 2 " Project Title Eco-T (A Collaborative Response to Farmer Mental Health and Suicide)
  • Summary
    • The Mid-Leinster Farmer Wellbeing Project will aim to recruit 100 farmers in the region to participate in developing a social support network via a training in action programme through this EIP Programme. Increasingly rural communities can be bereft of The "meitheal" of old, a community and social structure that is sadly mostly passed in many places. The need for this project is informed by on the ground outreach support workers from our operational group agencies and underpinned by current and continuously evolving research on the mental health, loneliness, and isolation of small holding farmers. Covid 19 augmented this isolation, where digital support was one of the only ways for single rural people were able to engage with the outside world.The objective of the project is to draw farmers together to learn new skills and share experiences (traditional building skills / willow making / hedge laying) and also to participate in restorative adventure activities that they would usually not have access to or possibly afford. This programme aims to engage the group at an open day, asking the individuals about their current social interactions, digital literacy, skills and compliance worries. Taking a data driven approach on their distance travelled during their participation of this "new social structure" in Mid Leinster at Castlecomer Discovery Park. Data will be used to iterate each programme customising it depending on needs, with each farmer working on their own personal progression. The dissemination of the aggregated data plus the ongoing monthly meet up will create both sustainability and added value to the project. This programme will allow for peer to peer interaction (Psychological support in terms of helping them recover from the stress) , digital training and change management methodologies to support new CAP complicated compliancy issues and reduce stress.
