  • Just as CPR prepares you to help someone having a heart attack,
    Mental Health First Aid teaches you how to assist someone
    experiencing a mental health or substance use challenge or crisis.
  • This FREE, full-day training is designed for farmers, agribusiness
    workers, and anyone who lives in or serves rural communities—
    including civic and faith leaders, healthcare providers, and
    neighbors.
  • Now more than ever, these skills are essential. Join us to build your
    confidence in recognizing the signs of a challenge or crisis and
    offering meaningful support.
  • Participants who complete the course will receive a certificate of
    completion.
  • The training includes a 30-minute lunch break and several short
    breaks throughout the day. Lunch and refreshments will be
    provided at no cost.
  • For more information, visit www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org

Seating limited to 30 attendees and we expect this will be fully booked,
register today!

Once fully registered, participants will receive access to a 2-hour, self-paced
e-learning module and quiz that must be completed before the in-person
MHFA training. 

Registrants must create User Profile in the MHFA by 
9/18 or they will be dropped and pre work must completed by 9/23.

NY FarmNet 40th Anniversary

In 2026, NY FarmNet celebrated our 40th Anniversary by showcasing clients, past leaders, and partners at a celebratory event held on July 23rd at Treleaven Wines in Cayuga County. 

All of us at NY FarmNet are grateful for the continued support from our partners and colleagues throughout NYS - without all of you, we would not be able to continue this important work for the next 40 years.
