Bureaucracy, family circumstances, health and finances can cause stress and anxiety. We offer a listening and signposting service for farmers and rural families in Northern Ireland. We can help you source information and advice about farm payments, personal and business finance and debt, social security benefits, support for carers, mental health assistance and many other issues. If you’re feeling worried or stressed and would like to talk to someone in confidence, our trained volunteers are ready to help. All calls are confidential and the helpline operates from 8am to 11pm, seven days a week (voicemail and support options available at all other times).

(The number is charged at local rate from BT landlines although other providers and mobile operators may charge more. We are happy to call you back if you are concerned about the cost of the call.)
Rural Support Questionnaire
We have identified an evidence gap in relation to how people from rural areas access information and support as well as research regarding stress and emotional wellbeing. In order to address these issues we are undertaking a research project and have designed a brief 5 minute questionnaire targeted at people living in rural areas across all of Northern Ireland.
Data collected as part of this research is strictly confidential and anonymous.
Please access the survey via the following link and should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete :- http://surveys.nicva.org/index.php?sid=56628&lang=en
