Still some time to register to join us on Friday for the virtual mental health workshop "Break the Stigma" with Lamont County and FCSS Lamont County Region .

We wanted to introduce the keynote speaker for Friday's virtual mental health workshop, Lesley Kelly. Lesley is the head and heart behind the blog, High Heels and Canola Fields She grew up on her family’s grain farm at Watrous, Saskatchewan where her and husband currently operate with her brother and dad. After gaining an education in marketing and accounting, went on to work in various marketing and branding positions in the ag sector. Over the years, Lesley and her famil...y have come to realize that a successful operation hinges on the general well-being of the farmer. They now make mental health a priority. Talking about it has become part of their day-to-day life and they openly discuss the challenges they face, both large and small. They don’t shy away from these topics, which takes the stigma out of them. Lesley has been part of the Bell Let’s Talk campaign to shine line on farmer mental health. Her goal is to help make the industry stronger and one way is to help break down the culture of toughness encouraged among farmers so that they, too, can talk openly about mental health.
