Many people are struggling with the consequences of environmental changes.

Farmers, ranchers, and landowners have close relationships with places and landscapes and, as a result, are especially vulnerable to ecological loss. This program, presented by Oregon State University Extension Small Farm's faculty Maud Powell and mental health professional Zoe Rossing, will introduce participants to strategies for increasing resiliency in the face of extreme weather events and a rapidly changing environment.

Who?

This training is designed for agricultural educators who provide support to farmers and ranchers. Attendees may include Extension professionals, federal and state agency employees, private sector consultants, non-profit staff, and growers and producers.

Why Attend?

Research indicates that providing opportunities to share emotions and mental health challenges about ecological change leads to greater resilience, increased connections within and between communities, and increased rates of positive/intentional action.

If you’re interested in taking a deeper dive, this workshop is a prerequisite for our cohort that will launch in the spring of 2026.

What to Expect?

During this live, virtual, three-hour training, agricultural educators will experience and learn how to deliver a 30-minute presentation on ecological stress and grief. Participants will receive a PowerPoint presentation along with notes and other resources on how to implement the presentation.

Funded through WSARE: Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education grant.

Facilitators: Maud Powell, OSU Extension Professor and Zoe Rossing, Clinical Social Worker

From wildfire and floods to shifting growing seasons and rising costs, producers are not only facing financial and operational challenges — they’re also carrying immense grief, anxiety, and uncertainty.

This unique cohort-based training is designed for individuals who want to support producers by facilitating gatherings that provide space for education, processing ecological-related stress and grief, creating connection, and building resilience. Whether you are an agricultural advisor, extension professional, mental health provider, rural community leader, or producer yourself, this training will prepare you to lead supportive, culturally sensitive, and grounded conversations that honor the emotional toll of ecological changes and extreme weather on land-based livelihoods.

Participants will:

Learn accessible activities to help producers process their emotions related to ecological stress and grief and extreme weather.Strengthen peer listening skills rooted in empathy.Increase comfort and confidence in facilitating group discussions.Gain tools to respond and refer appropriately when more urgent or complex mental health needs arise.Explore personal reactions and feelings about mental health challenges.Build a supportive community with others who are passionate about the emotional and mental health impacts of ecological change and extreme weather.Contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of climate resilience, mental health, and agriculture.Receive a facilitation toolkit with Powerpoint presentations, speaker notes, links to producer videos and a mental health resource guide.Attend quarterly post-training support and check-in sessions.Who This Is For:

We invite anyone with a connection to rural communities and food systems who is passionate about supporting the emotional resilience of producers—this includes farmers, ranchers, extension agents, cooperative members, rural mental health therapists, conservationists, and others who work alongside land stewards.

If you have not yet taken the training to be able to deliver the 30-minute ecological stress and grief presentation, you will need to attend that training on Tuesday, Aug. 12 from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. PT. Register in advance for this meeting.

Apply by Aug. 15.

We will be selecting approximately 25 people to participate in this first cohort. Please use the application form to provide your name, contact information, and answer some short questions. We will schedule brief phone or Zoom interviews with all applicants.

Those who know, love, and care for them: family and friendsMedical providers, including dentistsBankers or financial counselorsVeterinariansFarm equipment and supply outlets, pesticide/chemical salespersons
