TikTok helps young farmer from Southwell open up on mental health

"As a young person, you go from busy college days surrounded by people to being isolated and alone for long hours."

Tom Ware said he realised mental health was a problem among other young farmers after one of his colleagues took their own life in 2021.

Having worked in the industry since he was 15, Tom said he was shocked at how isolating it could be, and now he wanted to help newcomers who might be battling with their mental health.

The 22-year-old, from Southwell in Nottinghamshire, has created a social media account posting videos of farmers opening up about their struggles, while offering advice and support for others.
