As part of Men’s Health Week, Laurence Gaughan, Regional Project Manager in the west of Ireland with the HSE, is on this week’s Beef Edge podcast with some tips and advice on mental health for farmers.

Farmers tend to prioritise farm work and the health of their animals and Laurence discusses how to keep healthy.  He also outlines financial planning actions that can also help overcome stress and worry and he discusses the new mental health initiative, Taking Stock.
