Bill overview
The Farmers First Act of 2023 reauthorizes and expands the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network (FRSAN), a program that provides grants to states, tribes, and nonprofits to offer mental health and behavioral health support services to farmers and ranchers. The bill increases funding for the program over the next six years and allows grant recipients to establish referral relationships with various healthcare providers, including community behavioral health clinics, health centers, and rural hospitals. This aims to improve access to critical mental health resources for those working in agriculture.
