What is the AgriStress Helpline?
The AgriStress Helpline® is a free and confidential crisis and support line that you can call or text 24/7. Phone calls have interpretation available in 185 languages, and text message service is available in English and Spanish. The helpline is answered by trained professionals who can offer emotional and crisis support and help you find mental health and agriculture-related resources in your area. We know that agriculture is unique – that is why our crisis specialists have received training on the factors that impact people working in agriculture. VIA LINK, the crisis call center that answers the line, is accredited by the American Association of Suicidology (AAS) and Inform USA (formerly known as the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems).
