ABOUT US.
Do More Ag is a charity organization focusing on mental health in agriculture across Canada.
HOW WE DO MORE.
We are champions for the mental wellbeing of those in the Canadian agriculture industry and are changing the culture of Agriculture to one where all are encouraged, supported and empowered to take care of their mental wellbeing.
Agriculture is an industry with a foundation of deep rural roots, hard work, resilience, strength and community. In order to uphold that image, those traits can also be the industry’s weakness as they become barriers for speaking up and seeking help. Those in the Canadian agriculture industry are among the most vulnerable when it comes to mental health issues. Stress, anxiety, depression, emotional exhaustion and burnout are all high in the industry. By collaborating with the entire industry and those working to address the state of mental health in Agriculture, we can and will make a substantial impact!
OUR MISSION.
To cultivate a culture of mental well-being within Canadian farming communities.
OUR VISION.
An industry where all farming communities are encouraged, empowered, and supported to take care of their mental well-being.
OUR PILLARS
Do More Ag operates under 3 pillars. As a Canada wide charity, these pillars drive our focus and efforts across the Ag industry.
Awareness
Awareness, education and breaking the stigma. These are the first steps to making a real and lasting impact for our industry. We strive for an industry where all understand what it means for them to be truly healthy.
Community
Community is more than just a physical place, community is also a sense of belonging and being a part of something more. We aim to create a community where people can connect and also find resources that are relevant and accessible to them.
Resources
Mental health services and supports are hard to access in rural and remote locations. We aim to help bridge the gap of accessing those supports and services to farmers and their support network throughout Canada.
