• The Do more Agriculture Program https://www.domore.ag/
  We’re thrilled to share that the Do More Agriculture foundation has launched  AgTalk, a peer-to-peer support platform powered by Togetherall, this summer. AgTalk is available 24/7 to those 16+ who live, work and play in the Canadian agricultural industry. The platform provides a safe and anonymous space for individuals to connect, share, and receive support from a community of peers who truly understand their unique experiences.
  
  We understand that mental health journeys are deeply personal, and everyone progresses at their own pace.  AgTalk is designed to support individuals in their next steps toward improving their mental wellbeing, allowing them to share and connect when they are ready. The clinically moderated environment provides an added layer of support and wellbeing for our community.
  
  This platform, powered by Togetherall, provides a free and secure environment for open discussions on mental health, both in English and French. To register or learn more, please visit domore.ag/agtalk.
