Brett's parting message: chase the good stuff, the stuff that's good and important to you. -Brett Gardiner #CDNBeefConf

There's confidence in clarity. Take some time when you're in a rational mindset to create a plan. It's like when you develop a plan with your vet so you know what to do when a situation arises. -Brett Gardiner #CDNBeefConf

"The power is in the personalization." What is going to work for you? It's just like choosing the right bull for your heifers in your program. -Brett Gardiner #CDNBeefConf

We have a mental health crisis in Canada. We are also in the midst of a cognitive crisis. We consume more information in a day than a human being did in their entire life 500 years ago. -Brett Gardiner #CDNBeefConf

We should all be watching ourselves and those we care about for signs of mental health problems. Mindset matters. Mindsets change. You have to be ready to address your problems or make a change or you won't have success. #CDNBeefConf

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to improving #mentalhealth. Culture & context matter. Sometimes we need to call in reinforcements to help us. #CDNBeefConf

Rates of anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation are unacceptably high in the Canadian agriculture industry. Brett shares what he learned and what he needed: permission, identification, acceptance & education. #CDNBeefConf

Our #CDNBeefConf closing keynote speaker, Brett Gardiner, presented by @clhbid, shares his personal #mentalhealth struggles. He found that telling people about his struggles led to more conversations, each conversation helping a bit. #MentalHealthMatters #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay
