Trauma in Agriculture

Trauma on agricultural operations is common.  Events like natural disasters, injuries, accidents and deaths are commonplace.  In addition, the geographic isolation on farms can provide an environment for verbal, emotional, and physical abuse apart from the eyes of others.  During this webinar we will explore what trauma means, the impact trauma can have on an individual’s functioning, and some steps that you can use to address trauma in your life or the lives of those around you.
