Colorado

The Colorado AgrAbility Project had a very successful 2023 Winter Workshop series! Candiss Leathers, project manager, and Jim Craig, rural rehabilitation specialist, focused on ergonomic impacts and demonstrated how to make changes to daily tasks on the farm or ranch. Dr. Rebecca Hill, co-director, informed attendees of the impacts of the Colorado River, and how it affects all Coloradoans. Chad Reznicek, behavioral health specialist, dove into SAMHSA's Eight Dimensions of Wellness, giving everyone in attendance the chance to reflect on different ways to de-stress. This year, the Colorado AgrAbility Project was fortunate enough to partner with High Plains Intermountain Center for Agricultural Health and Safety (HICAHS); Whitney Pennington, outreach lead, was able to provide some personal protective equipment (PPE) to attendees and guide them to proper usage of said equipment.
