Mental Health on the Farm

Mental Health on the Farm

Dairy farmer Sam Owen returns to The Nutters Club to share how the pressures of farming, finances, and family life forced him to confront and prioritise his mental health.

Once a farmer in survival mode, Sam is now a mental health advocate, helping others recognise the signs they often overlook. He speaks with counsellor Mick Andrews and psychotherapist Kyle MacDonald about the toll that burnout and silence can take - not just on farmers, but on those around them, and why learning to speak up has been life-changing.

With thanks to NZ on Air.
