**Trauma doesn’t always look like trauma.**

Sometimes it looks like anger. Sadness. Withdrawal. Defiance. Or behaviors we don’t understand.

The Northwest Ohio Resilient Youth (NORY) Project provides "Building Resiliency with Youth," a trauma-informed training that helps us look beyond behavior to better understand what young people may be experiencing—and learn how we can respond with greater understanding, support, and compassion. 💙

While this training focuses on youth and young adults ages 10–24, the practical tools and insight can help people of all ages.

Join us for our 6th Annual Su***de Prevention Breakfast on September 10th, where the NORY Project will be part of the morning! This training will be provided by all 4 of our area health departments for everyone in attendance.

Register today and join us for this important conversation!

🛑 This may be the most important post Farmland News shares all year.

It’s not about the weather, crop prices or county fairs.

It’s about the people behind Ohio agriculture.

📊 Research shows:

• More than 60% of U.S. farmers and farm workers report increased stress and mental health challenges.

• Farmers are 3.5 times more likely to die by su***de than the general population.

🙏 These are difficult statistics, but they’re also a reminder that taking care of our mental health is just as important as taking care of our crops, livestock and families.

That’s why we’re sharing the Farmer Mental Health Resilience Program from Rural Minds. It’s a free resource created specifically for farmers, farm families, and rural communities, offering practical tools, education and support.

🔗 Link in the comments 👇

If this information helps even one farmer or farm family, it’s worth sharing.

💚 Follow Farmland News for stories and resources that support the people who keep agriculture strong.

The Jim McCartney Memorial Roping Competition was held in Swanton on May 30, 2026. Funds were raised throughout the day and recently the Jim McCartney Memorial Roping LLC presented a check to the Four County Su***de Prevention Coalition in honor and memory of Jim. Thank you to everyone who made that day such an incredible event.
