    Farm safety, health and wellness resource: Mental Health Case Studies
    Coffey, Hannah; Adducci, Haley; Samuels, Laura Ashley; Wyker, Jessica; Mason, Garland; Niewolny, Kimberly L. (Virginia Cooperative Extension, 2020)
    Thomas, the adult son on a family farm, attempts suicide because his parents are getting ready to retire and the farm is failing because of a loss of cattle who have been drinking from a pond with algae in it. Since Thomas feels the farm is now his responsibility, he blames himself and becomes very depressed. An FSA officer intervenes with the other family members and recommends that he see his primary care provider who can recommend psychiatric care.
