My picture of the struggle in farmer mental health is:

Some of the glimmer/joyful moments that reflect farmer mental health for me:

The power of a community. We have very tiny community but it full of passionate people who come together and support one another. Farmer health looks like a bush picnic with the kids and in no rush to do jobs, or a long drive through the farm (croppy). Discussing goals as a family farming business and constantly reviewing, pivoting to progress towards them. Educating people about ag - this probably fills my cup the most :)

A little more about Bridgitte:

I am a farmer with my husband on our broadacre farm. We complete dryland cropping and have livestock too. I am also in the start up phase of a wool athleisure label to connect people to agriculture and educate them as well as celebrate the very underserved rural woman. I am also a qualified Occupational Therapist, I work casually in telehealth and I am incredibly passionate about keeping family farms sustainable in Australia.
