Farm AID & Migrant Clinicians Network Launch Spanish Speaking Hotline

GUEST:  Lori Mercer of Farm AID

FARM AID and the MIGRANT CLINICIANS NETWORK TEAM UP TO REACH SPANISH LANGUAGE LISTENERS WITH A SPANISH SPEAKING HOTLINE OPERATOR TRAINED IN MENTAL HEALTH. In partnership with Migrant Clinicians Network (MCN), and with funding from the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network – Northeast (led by Cultivemos),  Farm Aid will be providing Spanish-language hotline support through the organization’s new Spanish-speaking hotline operator, Elizabeth Gonzalez-Ibarra.

If you’re a farmer who needs to talk to someone directly (or someone who is worried about a farmer), we are here to listen. You can call our farmer hotline at 1-800-FARM-AID (1-800-327-6243). Farm Aid staff answers the Farm Aid hotline Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET (Spanish) and In English, the hours are 9:00-9:00 ET.  (www.FarmAid.org)
