The Country's Jamie Mackay caught up with Chanelle O'Sullivan and Lindy Nelson for a discussion about mental health for rural women.
The founder of the Agri-Women's Development Trust, Lindy Nelson says there are three things that need to be addressed when dealing with an increase in rural women's mental health issues. The cause of this increase, understanding the problems behind it and then responding to those problems.
Isolation is a difficult issue for rural women says Chanelle O'Sullivan. Social media groups such as O'Sullivan's Farming Mums NZ can help women come together to share their experiences and help them feel that they're not alone.
