Introducing the AgWell Farmer Wellness Network in Rocky View County, Alberta

We’re proud to officially launch the AgWell Farmer Wellness Network in Rocky View County in Alberta this week!

This pilot connects farmers, farm families, and agricultural workers with therapists who understand the realities of farm life. Participants can access up to five free counselling sessions, with no referral required.

This program was built in collaboration with farmers. It reflects the pressures they face every day, from unpredictable conditions to the challenge of finding support that fits rural life.

Thank you to Larry Woolliams for his leadership and commitment to supporting farmers in the community, and to Rocky View County for their support.

This program is made possible through the generosity of the Annual Woolliams Farms Ltd. Charity Golf Classic and the Rural Heart Foundation, with the support of our partners at the University of Alberta and Canadian Centre for Agricultural Wellbeing.

This is an important first step toward expanding practical, farm-informed mental health support across Alberta.
