Book excerpt: Excerpt from State and Local Programs to Assist Dislocated or Displaced Farmers: Report Submitted to the United States Senate and House of Representatives, Committees on Appropriations, Subcommittees on Agricultural, Rural Development, and Related Agencies; March 1987 Briefly stated, farm families that are undergoing this kind of stress gag benefit from at least three forms of assistance-stress intervention or stress counseling, financial analysis and financial planning, and job relocation or retraining. Stress counseling and management efforts have tended to be organized on an ad hoc basis as organizations and individuals at local and State levels have attempted to respond to the emotional stress situations that farm families are experiencing. Most rural education and service providers-extension agents, public and private agency loan officers, school teachers, even the clergy-have not been prepared professionally to assist clientele suffering from severe stress. In addition, farmers are generally very reluctant to seek professional help for mental or emotional health problems, or to even admit that they may have a problem. Finally, mental health services have not generally been available in rural areas and smaller farm communities, and few mental health agencies have been organized to provide outreach beyond their clinical bases.
