ICSA Life Focus host farmer gathering in Castletown Geoghegan

The ICSA Life Focus group host a farmer gathering tomorrow Sunday 14 April, at the Castletown Geoghegan Community Hall, (Eircode N91 NV0T) 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.

They provide support and understanding on issues including farm succession, marriage breakdown, parent alienation, family disputes, mental health, rural isolation, farm finances, and banking.

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, don’t hesitate to reach out.”
