LIFE IS FULL OF CHALLENGES

Managing relationships, children, work, and business pressures. In farming, we face many challenges outside of our control – unpredictable weather, uncertainty in income, and expenses with changing prices for both our inputs and income.

 Every day we navigate the choices we make. 

When we are stuck on autopilot it can feel like much of life is out of our control, like life is happening to us, rather than by us. 

By building skills in psychological flexibility you can get back control over the choices you make, and the actions you take.

Who is Steph Schmidt?

The Navigate for Her community was founded by Steph Schmidt. Navigate for Her is a community under the business ACT for Ag. Steph founded ACT for Ag after winning the 2020 SA AgriFutures Rural Women's Award.

As a psychologist, farmer, wife, and mum - and above all, just a human being, trying to do her best in a tricky world, Steph could see the need to do mental health differently for farmers and rural people.

After winning the 2020 SA AgriFuture's Rural Women's Award, Steph developed the ACT for Ag program and toolkit - focusing on combining her lived experience of farming life and her knowledge as a psychologist - to bring simple, psychological strategies to rural people.
In 2021, Steph was awarded the Safework SA Augusta Zadow Award, to help her develop the ACT for Ag program into a community of rural women and men who want to do better - for themselves, their relationships, and their farms.

Why ACT for Ag?

ACT stands for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (or training). Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a science-backed approach to behaviour change which helps us to build psychological flexibility.

In a nutshell...Psychological flexibility helps us to adapt to challenging situations, unhook from tricky stories in our minds, and choose to do what matters most to us, even during tough times.

Psychological flexibility has been shown to be beneficial in every area of life. People who are more psychologically flexible tend to:

• Cope better with challenging situations
• Manage stress and uncertainty better
• Have healthier relationships
• Have higher quality of life
• Have lower levels of anxiety and depression
• Less work related stress and greater productivity and enjoyment at work
