Monthly Message
Finding Strength in Community
November 2025
As we enter the holiday season, it's important to remember that this time of year can be particularly challenging for many in our rural communities. The isolation that comes with distance, the pressures of agricultural life, and the weight of tradition can all take their toll on our mental well-being.
But here's what we know: strength isn't about facing everything alone. True strength comes from knowing when to reach out, when to ask for help, and when to lean on your community. Whether you're a rancher, farmer, or part of a rural family, your mental health matters just as much as your physical health.
This month, we encourage you to check in on your neighbors, reach out to old friends, and remember that seeking support is a sign of courage, not weakness. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient rural America.
