Honoring a Brother’s Memory Through Farmer Mental Health

After losing her brother Myles to suicide in 2018, McKenna Reichling turned grief into action, launching a new chapter of a mental health support organization for farmers in Grant and Lafayette counties, Wisconsin. Fueled by personal loss and a deep understanding of farming’s hidden pressures, McKenna is breaking down stigma and connecting rural families with vital resources. Partnering with local agencies like the Wisconsin Farm Bureau and Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office, her initiative includes placing QR codes on sheriff vehicles to instantly link farmers to free counseling. Her mission? To transform the perception of seeking help into a courageous act — and to ensure no one in agriculture walks alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available at 988.
