We’re also aiming to raise awareness of the organisations which can offer specialist help and support to people who have been affected by any of the issues raised or negative behaviour. It is hoped that, as well as raising awareness among young farmers the campaign may also have a wider beneficial impact among people of all ages in the Scottish farming community.
Here is a list of helpful numbers for those in need of focused support:
Earning respect through your own words and actions
Cooperation, Compassion & Care
Treating others the way you wish to be treated
Training
We are currently putting together a suite of sessions for office bearers and members that will have a number of priority areas throughout the year including: Mental Health First Aid, First Aid and Suicide Prevention training.

“SAYFC is a vibrant network that nurtures growth, celebrates achievement, and champions the future of rural Scotland, and is incredibly important for so many young people in the industry. It offers them a support system and enables them to be part of a like-minded community. By fostering a culture of respect and awareness throughout all levels of the organisation, we ensure that our members feel valued and supported, enhancing their well-being and creating a positive impact on the wider community.”
