TURNER PUBLISHING • December 7, 2020

The Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s Bureaus of Agriculture and Forestry are continuing to increase access to mental health resources for farming and forestry communities. DACF recently added the Mental Health Resources webpage, at Maine.gov/dacf, which has detailed information about the signs of stress and resources for managing stress and seeking help. The new webpage intends to provide critical assistance to agriculture and forestry communities experiencing increased pressure because of the pandemic.
