Mental Health Support for Farmers Affected by Foot-and-Mouth Disease

The Directorate of Mental Health Services – OCYPY is providing free psychological support to farmers affected by the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease, in collaboration with local Community Councils. This initiative aims to address the psychological impact caused by the crisis in livestock farming. Farmers in need of support can contact the designated phone numbers, which are available during specific hours or 24/7. This move is a significant boost for those affected, providing them with the necessary emotional support during a difficult time.
