Are you an Ontario producer? OVC researchers looking for your input

Researchers at the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph are studying producer stress and resilience and looking for input from Ontario producers.

They are asking producers to complete a short online survey to help them understand the impacts of their work on their health.

The goal of this anonymous survey is to investigate the relationships between stress and resilience, and to gather important information about the mental wellness of agricultural producers in Ontario.

Researchers anticipate the knowledge gained from this research project to be of great value to the agricultural industry in supporting producers and contributing to their overall well-being and health.

Survey responses will be completely anonymous and confidential. The survey will take about 15 minutes. Access the survey at www.producerwellness.ca

Participants completing the survey can choose to have their name entered in 3 draws to win $200.
