The Ripple Effect is about farmers helping farmers beat rural suicide by transforming the negative ripple of stigma into a positive ripple of support

@KensingtonRoyal Thank you for acknowledging the stigma surrounding mental health and suicide in our rural farming communities. @FarmerHealth are working hard to address this across Australia and your voice in the conversation is a powerful one that is greatly appreciated.
