Dairy Calf & Heifer Association

Join Dairy Calf & Heifer Association (DCHA) for its next webinar set for May 7, at 12:00 p.m. Central time (U.S./Canada). Ashley Machado will lead this free, one-hour educational offering.

During this webinar, Machado will guide attendees through a series of practical mental health tools in a relatable way; providing tangible strategies tailored to the unique challenges faced by those in the agricultural industry. You’ll discover actionable tips to cultivate resilience, manage stress, stop burnout before it starts, and prioritize mental well-being. Attendees will leave equipped with tools they can immediately implement, fostering a healthier mindset for themselves and their communities.

Machado is a Tedx speaker, counselor, and was nominated as a 2023 FFA Change Maker. She is rethinking the way we support Mental health in the food and ag space by sharing tangible tools and simple strategies. In 2022 Ashley founded M Well, a mental health consulting firm that provides trainings, coaching and wellness plans for ag families and businesses alike. Machado grew up in the dairy industry and now farms and ranches with her family in California’s Central Valley. She has her BA in human development and master’s in social work with an emphasis in clinical mental health. Her goal is for everyone in the rural, ag, and western space to have the tools they need in their mental health toolbox to operate and live life fully.

Machado presented a similar session at the 2024 DCHA annual conference & trade show. A survey comment states, “I particularly loved the mental health presentation, it is always beneficial to keep this topic at the forefront, especially in agriculture.”
