To anyone on the outside, the Lienemann family appeared to have everything going for them. Behind the scenes, Torri’s husband Trevor was struggling with deep depression. In November of 2018 Trevor died from suicide – leaving Torri and their four children to move ahead alone.

 In today’s episode Torri shares about her family’s struggle and gives hope to others struggling with depression. There are many treatments for depression – counseling, medication, and various therapies. 

 You are not alone. You are your operation’s greatest asset. You are worth the time to find help.

 

You can read more about Torri and her family’s struggle at this article by Tyler Harris, published on December 4, 2019 on the West Plains Ag News site: It’s Not Hopeless: Addressing Mental Health in Rural America.

 You can also find Torri through the Lienetics Ranch website and the Bextra Bale Feeder site.
