On this episode of Talking FACS, we welcome a new voice to the podcast.  Laura Weddle shares about the Bringing Awareness Right Now to Mental Health and Wellnes (B.A.R.N.) program that culminates in a Farmer's Dinner Theater written, directed and performed by youth.  The youth participate in a training program to learn about mental health issues affecting farm families prior to their on-stage production.  The first B.A.R.N. program was held in Logan and Warren counties.  For information about the next program, happening in Daviess and Henderson Counties contact your local county extension office.
