Support for the Emotional and Practical Challenges of Farm Stress and Rural Life
Life on the farm can be both rewarding and stressful. Long days, uncertain weather, financial pressure, machinery breakdowns, and endless tasks place real demands on farmers, ranchers, and rural families. On top of that come family expectations, isolation, and the struggle to balance work with personal well-being. It is no surprise that stress has become such a common part of rural life in Saskatchewan.
Wasson Counselling & Consulting offers a safe space to talk openly about these pressures with someone who understands. Whether you are making tough decisions about herd health, carrying the weight of financial strain, or simply needing a place where your story makes sense, this service is here to support you.
Farm Stress
Farming in Saskatchewan isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life. It’s early mornings, late nights, unpredictable weather, and the weight of decisions that ripple across generations. It’s pride in the land, resilience in the face of uncertainty, and a deep connection to community and family. But even the strongest among us need support.
At WCC, we understand that farm stress is real. Whether it’s financial pressure, succession planning, isolation, or the emotional toll of running a multi-generational operation, these challenges can take a toll on your mental health. You don’t have to face them alone.
We offer practical, down-to-earth counselling that meets you where you’re at—whether that’s in town, on the phone, or out at the farm. Our approach is rooted in respect for your lived experience, and we focus on your strengths, grit, and problem-solving as well as your ability to adapt. We help you build tools to manage stress, improve communication, and navigate tough transitions—without judgment, and without jargon.
You’ve weathered droughts, market swings, and machinery breakdowns. Let’s make sure your mental health gets the same care and attention as your crops and cattle.
