Driven by positive feedback from farmers and ranchers, this training proposes cultural adaptations to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy designed for use with members of the agricultural community. Based on the agrarian imperative (Rosmann, 2010), techniques and skills are proposed that intentionally incorporate a client's attachment to the land in order to improve therapeutic trust and client engagement and promote positive behavioral health outcomes.
