Join us on this episode as we delve into the impactful world of AgrAbility, where agriculture meets accessibility. Two years ago, Florida welcomed its inaugural AgrAbility program, a collaborative effort spearheaded by The Center for Independent Living of North Central Florida and The University of Florida, supported by a USDA grant. On this episode, we're joined by Chad Reznicek, a Behavioral Health State Specialist with the Colorado AgrAbility Project, as we explore the challenges, triumphs, and vital support systems needed by farmers with disabilities.
Chad shares his personal journey, shaped by his upbringing in a farming family and his subsequent work as a therapist for high-risk youth. This unique blend of experiences forms the foundation for a deep discussion on the multifaceted needs of farmers, the importance of familial and generational connections, and the profound impact of aligning one's values with their work in agriculture.
We take a holistic view, understanding that intervention must occur at multiple levels to create lasting change. Chad emphasizes the significance of addressing farmers' health behaviors, resources, and support networks, highlighting the critical role that programs like AgrAbility play in ensuring farmers can continue their livelihoods independently and with dignity.
