Crisis Responders

LandLogic® for Crisis Responders

Equip your crisis line staff with specialized knowledge to effectively support farmers in their darkest moments.

Why Crisis Responders Need LandLogic®

When farmers reach out to 988 or crisis hotlines, they're often in acute distress—facing financial collapse, crop failure, or thoughts of suicide. Crisis counselors need specialized training to understand the unique pressures of agricultural life and respond effectively. The LandLogic Model teaches crisis line staff how to recognize farmer-specific distress signals, understand agricultural stressors, and provide culturally-informed support that can save lives.

What You'll Learn

Our specialized live virtual training teaches crisis counselors and hotline staff to:

Understand the agrarian imperative and farmers' psychological connection to their land
Recognize agricultural stress indicators in crisis calls, texts, and chats
Identify verbal cues that signal deeper emotional distress (e.g., "I can't feed my cows," "The crop failed")
Apply land-based de-escalation techniques appropriate for agricultural clients
Navigate the unique cultural context of farming communities
Connect callers to appropriate local agricultural resources and support systems

Real World Application

^{In 2023, Jared Auten, director of a 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in Kansas, trained his entire staff of 30 counselors and 60 volunteers in The LandLogic Model after recognizing the urgent need to reach farming communities in rural Kansas. His team now uses these techniques daily to support agricultural clients across 19 rural counties.}

The Crisis in Rural Communities

Farmers face compounding risk factors:

Geographic isolation: Miles between neighbors, limited social support

Access to lethal means: Firearms and toxic farm chemicals readily available
Mental health deserts: Very few therapists or crisis resources in rural counties
Cultural stigma: Deep reluctance to discuss mental health, especially among men
Financial uncertainty: Constant stress about weather, markets, and farm survival

Crisis responders are often the critical intervention point between despair and hope for farming families.
