AgTalk provides a safe and anonymous space for individuals to connect, share, support others and receive support from a community of peers who understand their unique experiences.

Monitored 24/7 by mental health clinicians, AgTalk provides a safe environment for open discussion on mental health in both English and French. Agriculture is an industry with a foundation of deep rural roots, hard work, resilience, strength and community.
