County Federation of Agriculture NEWSLETTER
Courses help farm families deal with stress
This year, farm families have
added pressure with our crops not
being harvested 'till late. This adds a
further load to family living.
Sometimes we seem to be
avoiding each other and the farm
issues. Often communication,
negotiating skills, priority setting and
talking about realistic, affordable,
short term and long term goals help
IF YOU HAVE CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS WHO
SHOULD YOU CONTACT?

put us all back on track. There are
times it is beneficial to look outside
of the family farm for these skills.
Neighbours Being Neighbours
have secured funds through OMAF to
supply this service to any family in
Perth, at the Stratford Family
Counselling Services at 142 Waterloo
St., Stratford, phone 273-1020. They
will counsel you by yourself and/or
as a couple quickly. Waiting period
should be within a week or two.
Please identify yourself as a Farm
Family to access the quick response.
Often times in talking to someone
away from the situation, you find you
are not alone, you are okay and a few
new skills will help you. You are
worth it. Ca1l.0
