Embrace FARM has launched a variety of new support services specifically designed to help children and young adults who are processing loss and grief after a sudden death within a farm family.

As an extension of Embrace FARM’s current offerings, the new services and resources will provide mental and emotional support for children and young people in farm families. The support services have been specifically designed to reach rural farm families who might not have access to support, due to limited local resources or geographical isolation within their communities.

The new services for children and young adults are tailored to meet individuals needs, but can include creative arts therapies such as play, art and dance, counselling and equine-assisted learning.

These supports are offered alongside yearly residential family retreats where farm families, including both parents and children, who have experienced the sudden death of a loved one come together.
