HDR Scholarship – Peer-led mental health support for farmers
Applications now open. A PhD scholarship is available to initiate and conduct research on the topic ‘Peer-led mental health support for farmers’.
Research topic
Farmers face a range of contextually-influenced situational factors that negatively influence mental health and suicide risk. Most farmers live in communities in which access to evidence-based face-to-face mental health support is limited. Where support is available, providers may have poor understanding of the realities of life and work in the farming environment. The unique barriers to support seeking identified in farming communities may be a barrier to people seeking support, particularly when they have a negative support seeking experience. Working with farmers to co-design an approach for delivering peer-led support may be one solution to increase accessibility to evidenced-based, appropriate and acceptable mental health support for farmers living with depression or low mood.
