From 2010 - 2019, 214 farmers lost their lives through a farming accident. They are not just a statistic, they are a valued family member. Each time we hear of a farm accident every farmer stops for a minute as we are all connected through the farming community.
On this week’s episode of the Beef Edge, founding member of Embrace FARM (Farm Accident Support Network) Norma Rohan outlines the services it offers.
Embrace FARM creates friendships with those who are in the same situation and talking to them helps because there is a since of understanding what each one is going through.
Norma outlines how an accident not only affects the person who has been injured but also their immediate family, home and community. Embrace FARM offer a special support group for farm accident survivors and remembers those who have lost their lives, have been injured, supports survivors of farm accidents, their family members, friends and the wider community
Embrace FARM also published a very detailed booklet in conjunction with the Farmers Journal in June, 2020, Building a Community of Support which can be read here:
