Share the Load is a 24/7 mental health support line and counselling referral service specifically for those who work in agriculture and their families. This was set up because of the long waiting times associated with counselling and the difficulty in accessing support as well as the high incidence of suicide and poor mental health amongst the farming community. We have over 30 Samaritan trained volunteers who run the call line and text service and who understand farming and the challenges faced by farmers. Those who call through are contacted within 48 hours by a qualified and regulated counsellor and are seen within a week.
We offer outreach counselling (on the farm) online, telephone or face to face in a location off farm.
We have English and Welsh speaking counsellors.
