2. Behavioral Health within the Farming Population

Dr. Mike Rosmann made the keynote presentation at the October 2019 South Dakota State University Extension Farm and Ranch Stress Summit. In this 50- minute video, he explained why the term “behavioral health” is preferred to “mental health” with the farming population. He explained answers that exist as to what influences behavioral health across the farming population and raised questions needing answers to understand and address stress and suicide among farmers. A number of questions framed his presentation: Why is farming so stressful? What do we know and don’t know about stressors? How does behavioral health among the farming population differ from the general population? Why we need physicians and counselors trained in the culture of farming.

In this 50-minute video, he explained why the term “behavioral health” is preferred to “mental health” with the farming population.
