The Manitoba Farm and Rural Stress Line offers confidential
information, support, counselling & referrals for farm and rural
families. We're just a phone call away.
If you are having personal problems, financial difficulties, need some
information, or just want someone to talk to... we are here to listen and
to help.
What you tell us:
"As rural people, we pride ourselves in being independent and
resilient. That sometimes makes it difficult to reach out for help. Even
though it was hard at first, calling the Manitoba Farm and Rural Stress Line
was one of the best things I could have done. It helped me and it helped
my family." (rural Manitoban)
