What is The LandLogic® Model?
The LandLogic® Model is the idea of purposefully incorporating a farmer’s land - the quintessential resource for a farmer - into behavioral health interventions. Positive feedback from farmers, behavioral health, and medical providers continue to highlight this important aspect. The LandLogic® Model has then taken proven Cognitive Behavior Therapy skills and incorporated land-based interventions in hopes of promoting positive behavioral health outcomes for our farmers and their families.
The Challenge
Farmers face unique mental health barriers—stigma, isolation, and traditional therapy that doesn't fit their world.
The Approach
We adapt proven Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to incorporate the land itself as a therapeutic tool.
The Outcome
Farmers engage more, providers connect better, and behavioral health outcomes improve across agricultural communities.
ONLINE COURSES & LIVE TRAININGS
Training Built for Those Who Serve Farmers
We offer specialized training programs tailored to medical providers, behavioral health professionals, and crisis responders who work with agricultural communities.
"The LandLogic® Model has been a wonderful tool utilized by our medical staff when initiating the hard but necessary conversations with our rural farm families regarding their physical and mental well-being.”
-Karla Hermesch, LMSW - Director of Social Services, Seneca Family Practice
HEALING SPACES. GROUNDED SOLUTIONS.
The LandLogic®
Goals
Three key outcomes that make LandLogic training essential for rural healthcare.
Increase Client Retention
Keep farmers engaged in treatment by meeting them where they are—using their land and daily agricultural experiences as the foundation for therapy, rather than abstract clinical settings that feel disconnected from their reality.
Build Trust
Establish authentic therapeutic relationships by demonstrating cultural understanding of agricultural life, acknowledging the deep connection farmers have to their land, and speaking their language from the first conversation.
Promote Positive Outcomes
Achieve measurable improvements in mental health by adapting evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to fit the unique challenges, stressors, and values of farming communities across all agricultural sectors.

"I was drawn to The LandLogic® Model because it was the first time I had seen a model positioning the relationship to the land as a cognitive schema that farmers hold. It also provided concrete ways of working with this schema as perhaps one of their greatest strengths.”
-Dr. Nancy Lucero, PhD - Mississippi Choctaw, University of Denver School of Social Work Professor
