Farmstrong Scotland is a wellbeing programme designed to support the farmers, crofters and those from the agricultural community. The programme focuses on sharing peer-to-peer tips, advice and practical tools to help individuals manage the unique challenges of farming and crofting to allow them to live well to farm and croft well.
Farmstrong’s Wellbeing Bank Account activity gives you the chance to consider what boosts and depletes your wellbeing. Our natural supply of wellbeing can get depleted as we deal with stressful life situations. If it gets too depleted, we can go into overdraft and become unwell.
We can keep topping up our wellbeing with good science-based habits and the time to learn these habits is when our wellbeing is strong. Investing regularly in our wellbeing means we can enjoy the productivity, health and social benefits that come from having a healthy wellbeing bank account.
