ifarmwell

ifarmwell.com.au is an online tool kit divided into five short and interactive modules to help Australian farmers cope effectively with life’s challenges and get the most out of every day. The National Centre for Farmer Health is an ifarmwell partner.

The ifarmwell website has been designed by Australian farmers to help other Australian farmers cope effectively with life’s challenges and get the most out of every day. It does this by sharing practical ways of coping with difficult circumstances, thoughts and feelings (especially worries about things you can’t control) and helping you to work out where it is most useful for you to put your attention and energy.

The website is designed to be useful for BOTH farmers who are currently feeling down or stressed AND those who would simply like some new tools to improve their ability to cope with uncertainty associated with life on the land.

We at farmerhealth think you will find ifarmwell interesting, and at times fun. By the end of the modules, the aim is for you to be less focused on thoughts and things you can’t control and more focused on your family, friends, farm or whatever it is that matters to you most.

You do not need to be experiencing poor mental health to benefit from using this website. It has been designed to help improve ALL farmers’ wellbeing.
