Abstract | There are many stressors that impact on farmers and recent research has found that Queensland farmers’ rate of suicide is twice that of the general population (Arnautovska et al.,2014). It is reported that mental health help-seeking behaviour is lacking in farmers. Seeking help for mental health is seeking services from a health professional for distress or mental health issues (Rickwood & Thomas, 2012). Farmers’ partners reportedly have a role in the help-seeking of farmers, such as facilitation and support, and may also be able to offer insight into their mental health help-seeking behaviour (Doherty & Kartalova-O’Doherty, 2010; Kolves et al., 2012). There is an urgent need to identify factors specific to farmers that make mental health help seeking difficult, including those outside their awareness. |
