Abstract | Farmers’ mental health help-seeking is reported to be poor. Mental health help-seeking is seeking help from professionals such as GPs and psychologists for issues relating to distress or mental health (Rickwood & Thomas, 2012). Timely mental health help-seeking behaviour is important because it may minimise any negative outcomes. At present, there is no research that has identified how to target farmers to improve their mental health help-seeking. It is known that tailored approaches to intervention are superior and this is likely to be so for intervening with farmers whom have a strong culture and a vastly different situation than metropolitan populations. |
