AgKnow has partnered with AgSafe Alberta to host an In the Know workshop, a virtual mental health literacy course. In the Know is designed to help you learn about mental health and illness, promote well-being in your life, how to recognize when someone is struggling, and how to respond.

We’re excited to share an upcoming virtual group program called Stronger Together that is for rural women. This group begins in January 2023 on Saturdays from 1 pm to 2:30 pm and will run for eight weeks.

It’s the same for many rural communities across Alberta and when there are psychologists, they are often very busy and have waitlists. Or, if there are any local psychologists, they may not offer an area of specialization you need.
