Every workplace brings its own set of mental health challenges and the agricultural sector is no different, which is why the western Canadian workplace wellness consulting company Bridges Health has gone about developing an innovative new mental health app that is targeted towards agricultural producers.
The 'Avail' app allows workers in agricultural settings to go about safely and confidentially recording their mental health progress. The app also connects users to pertinent resources that may be of use to them, helps them peruse and find mental health professionals in their region and helps them access a sense of community.
Given that foundational role that agriculture plays in any economy or society, the mental health of agricultural workers is of crucial importance, something that the 'Avail' mental health app recognizes and is looking to promote.
