Porch Light Mental Wellness Society

Porch Light Mental Wellness Society was established to raise awareness and break stigmas in rural communities to strengthen mental wellness.

Our focus is to create a directory for individuals in agriculture, ranching, and rodeo to find mental health and wellness resources. We will help you access the resources you need.

We recognize there are many existing organizations that provide excellent programs to assist farmers, ranchers, and rodeo athletes; however, there is an extreme lack of awareness of these resources and how to access their support. In addition, mental health in the agricultural industry is heavily stigmatised. We are inundated with messages to remain tough and strong, to persevere through hardships, to keep our heads down and keep working, to cowboy up. Carrying the responsibilities of a successful harvest and the continued health of a herd are heavy burdens. We believe in the strength of our community. We also believe that it takes an immense amount of strength to ask for help.
