ICSA’s Life Focus group will host a farmer gathering on Sunday 14 April at the Castletown Geoghegan Community Hall in Castletown Geoghegan, Co Westmeath, Eircode N91 NV0T. The gathering will commence at 7.30pm.

Chair of ICSA Life Focus Mona O’Donoghue Concannon said, “Farmers are under a lot of pressure at the moment, and we want to provide a place for farmers to gather and discuss the current difficulties they are facing due to the persistent wet weather. A problem shared is a problem halved, so we are inviting all farmers to come along and share their experiences.”

About ICSA Life Focus:

In response to the increasing awareness of mental health challenges in the farming community, a group of ICSA farmers united to establish ICSA Life Focus. This group has collectively encountered a wide range of problems and situations that can arise throughout a farming lifetime.

ICSA’s Life Focus provides support and understanding on various issues including Farm Succession, Marriage Breakdown, Parent Alienation, Family Disputes, Mental Health, Rural Isolation, Farm Finances, and Banking Issues.

Concluding Ms O’Donoghue Concannon said, “The guiding principle of the group is that tough times do not have to be faced alone. If you need assistance, do not hesitate to reach out.”
