Lauren Van Ewyk, Psychotherapist, Registered Social Worker, Mental Health Advocate, Sheep Farmer

Women in Ag: Our blood, sweat, and tears

How do we identify as women in ag? How can we step into this identity, embrace it, and champion it? Lauren will discuss self-care and some practical strategies to embrace wellness.

Lauren Van Ewyk is an engaging speaker, registered social worker, foster mom and mental health advocate. She has appeared in numerous radio, television and print articles concerning the issues of adoption, foster care, mental wellness and mental health in the agriculture sector.

She and her husband raise sheep in southwestern Ontario. She is a doctorate student, founding member, and CEO of the National Farmer Mental Health Alliance; Lauren seeks to meet the needs of farmers and their families across Canada and the US.

Katelyn Duban, Emcee, Podcaster

Katelyn Duban, born and raised in Southern Alberta, married into agriculture in 2016. At the time, it was not her intention to be an active member of the farm but quickly found a passion for farm life. In 2018, while working in the field found herself searching for a podcast that shared the stories of the importance of women in agriculture and wound up falling short. She began working on her own podcast and in the spring of 2019, she launched The Rural Woman Podcast.

Since then, she has interviewed many incredible women in agriculture doing amazing things in the field. With close to half a million downloads, Katelyn continues to share the importance of Women in Agriculture while sharing her own story through social media under the handle @WildRoseFarmer.
