FaB Mentors
https://pir.sa.gov.au/funding_and_support/fabm
​
Trudie has a farming background having grown up on a farm in the Mid North. She has worked in regional communities involved with Landcare and natural resource management and spent 15 years working in the Northern and Yorke region based at Clare.

Since moving to the city her work enables her to continue to connect with rural and regional communities and to focus on wellbeing and mental health.

Trudie works in PIRSA’s Recovery and Resilience team as the Family and Business Support Coordinator and in this role works with a network of people that are located across the state who are available to support primary producers when things get a bit tough.

The Family and Business (FaB) Mentor service is:
Free, confidential, independent, experienced (Mentors have a variety of regional business and agricultural backgrounds)
 
FaB Mentors have the time to listen and can support primary producers to help them to take action for themselves.   They are not a clinical counsellor or business advisor but someone who will hear you out and talk things through and be a ‘sounding board’ and connect to services such as:

• financial counselling
• local health networks
• funding and support measures available to primary producers
• emotional wellbeing and counselling services
• government and non-government assistance
• community organisations and assistance

 
Connect directly with the FaB mentor in your area or the recovery team
