The SDBA is partnering with the SD Department of Ag and Natural Resources (SD DANR) to highlight and promote a new program that provides free mental health vouchers to farmers and ranchers in need. We all know the farm economy has been a tough one and farm stressors can come from many directions, including the agricultural system, farm and family finances, mental and physical health challenges, and relationship difficulties. But there are services and resources, many of which are free, that are available to our producers during these troubling times.
If you click here, we've uploaded two flyers, provided by 605Strong, that you may utilize to support your staff, customers, friends, family and yourself. You may also contact Mr. Brian Pontious, Policy Advisor, SD DANR, to coordinate the quantity of brochures and delivery arrangements directly to your banking organization! Again, all brochures are provided by SD DANR at no cost to your bank.
