In recent years, community leaders in the San Luis Valley, Colorado have expressed growing concerns about the mental and physical health of workers in the agriculture industry. To address this issue, we have developed an interactive worker wellbeing assessment based on the Total Worker Health® and Total Farmer Health® frameworks. Our presentation will focus on various aspects of worker wellbeing, including job satisfaction, coworker support, work affect, work fatigue, overall health status, chronic health conditions, individual stress, general mental health status, substance use, work injury, social support, anxiety and depression.
The target audience for this presentation includes agricultural industry leaders, health providers and behavioral health clinicians. We received responses from 118 participants which enabled us to analyze the data effectively. The objectives of the training session are to help participants identify sources of stress for agriculture workers in the San Luis Valley, Colorado; recognize different levels of behavioral health risk factors; behaviors; and outcomes; and evaluate behavioral health from a work-centric perspective.
We encourage interested individuals to register for the training session by following the link provided. Our interactive worker wellbeing assessment is a valuable tool for promoting better mental and physical health among agriculture workers in our community. We believe that by working together to address this important issue, we can create a more healthy and sustainable agriculture industry for future generations.
