Asian men are stressed about financial problems, with invoices and calculators placed on the table while having stress on problems with home expenses.
Tough economic times in the agricultural sector can take a toll on farm families, with increased stress associated with financial challenges often leading to difficulties communicating and making effective decisions.
To help Wisconsin farm couples learn about stress management techniques, the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension are hosting a series of six Farm Couples Weekend Workshops this winter.
One such workshop will be taking place in Appleton, on February 29th and March 1st.
Pre-registration and a $50/couple deposit is required, with the deposit refunded on the second day of the weekend.
Interested couples can reserve a spot by purchasing a “ticket” at https://fyi.extension.wisc.edu/farmstress/farmcouples/.
