We are Stronger Together

In honor of Suicide Prevention Month, we have made it our mission to equip 100 people in the farming, fisheries, and forestry communities in Rhode Island with the tools to identify mental health concerns and respond appropriately through the short, self-paced Stronger Together training!

This project has been made possible through Land & Sea Together, Rhode Island’s Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network (FRSAN) and was created by Cultivemos and Farm First VT. The original Stronger Together gives general case studies, however we are able to offer a version with examples in an agricultural setting.

Anyone can take the training, however, we are just compensating the first 100 farming, fishing, forestry people directly. If you work with FFF people, we encourage you to take the training too!

In order to compensate eligible* participants for their valuable time taking this training, we are offering a $250 stipend via Visa gift cards which can be used for your own wellness needs.

*Terms

  • Gift Cards will be mailed to the first 100 eligible recipients at the end of October 2023.
  • Please use stipend funds by December 31, 2023.
  • Please retain receipts as in the case that we are audited, we will reach out to you for proof of purchase.
  • We are unable to fund requests towards federally controlled substances or alcohol, general purpose equipment, supplies, construction or infrastructure.
  • Limit 1 per individual, 2 per household
  • Cards will only be mailed to RI addresses

*Eligibility for stipend:

  • All Rhode Island farmers
  • All Rhode Island commercial fishers & shellfishers
  • All Rhode Island foresters
