Addressing mental health in youth in rural communities

An FFA member is passionate about stopping the stigma surrounding mental health in youth in the agriculture industry and rural communities.

Jaden Maze, Indiana FFA District Four vice president, started a mental health club after a student in her school committed suicide.

“I’ve been working with the mental health topic since 2019, almost my entire high school career. I’ve given several speeches on mental health in agriculture through 4-H and FFA.
