Farmer Mental Health Program Rebrands as FARM SOS

The Illinois Farm Family Resource Initiative is now known as FARM SOS. The program continues offering free, confidential mental health support for Illinois farm families around the clock, every day of the year. Help is available by calling 1-833-FARM-SOS, or 1-833-327-6767. FARM SOS is a partnership involving the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, the Illinois Department of Agriculture, and the Illinois Department of Human Services. Organizers say the new name is designed to make the service easier to remember for farmers and rural families seeking support. More information is available online at ILFARMSOS.COM.
