'There is never just one problem - it's like plate spinning' INTERVIEW with Tir Dewi

Written by Mo Metcalf Fisher | 9 October 2019

Today is Mental Health Awareness Day 2019.

I had the opportunity to speak with Tir Dewi, a Welsh based mental health charity that are working on the front-line to help farmers that are suffering from mental health related problems. They are predominantly made up of volunteers.

Bovine TB; financial pressure; uncertainty around Brexit; excess paperwork and administration and farm inspections are just some of the issues facing Farmers daily. When these all add up, it can all become too much.

Check out my interview with Gareth Davies of Tir Dewi here for the Farmers Guardian.
