NDSU Extension brings awareness to mental health in Ag

NDSU’s extension office hosted a 90min training session on Tuesday to teach Q.P.R. to educate people about suicide prevention in the ag industry. Adriana Drusini explains what Q.P.R. stands for and how to apply it.

Drusini notes that the agricultural industry carries a large amount of stress from many different factors.

Drusini mentions the challenges the ag industry has in addressing mental health.

There were over 20 attendees at the most recent Q.P.R. webinar and Drusini explains why it’s important to bring this message to everyone, not just the farmers themselves.

The next webinar is scheduled for November 20th with more dates being planned for 2026. You can find more information for upcoming NDSU Extension events at https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension.
