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 CBT skills and incorporated land-based interventions in hopes of promoting positive behavioral health outcomes for our farmers and their families.
