YANA improves mental health in agriculture and rural businesses across East Anglia, because no one should struggle alone.
From one idea to a trusted rural mental health charity
What began in 2008 as a project of the Clan Trust has grown into YANA, the charity helping to improve mental health in adults in agriculture and rural communities across East Anglia.
MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING
Build your knowledge to help improve mental health
YANA arranges practical mental health training, talks and awareness sessions designed for farming and rural businesses and communities. If you want to understand mental wellbeing better, support your colleagues in the workplace or start important conversations with anyone you care about, our training helps you feel informed and equipped to help.
The YANA team
Our staff, trustees, supporters and volunteers work together to improve the mental health of anyone in agriculture and rural communities in East Anglia.
