Rizon is proud to celebrate a significant milestone between the partnership with IED Training and RSABI, as together we have now helped train more than 1,000 Mental Health First Aiders to support Scotland’s farming communities.
This achievement reflects the power of collaboration, shared purpose and a commitment to improving mental health support in one of Scotland’s most vital industries.
Agriculture can be an incredibly rewarding profession, but it also presents unique pressures – from isolation and long working hours to financial uncertainty and personal challenges. Recognising the growing need for accessible mental health support we have proudly supported RSABI to deliver practical, impactful Mental Health First Aid training tailored to the agricultural sector.
By combining RSABI’s trusted role within Scotland’s farming community with our expertise in leadership, workplace wellbeing and high-impact training, the partnership has created a programme that is making a genuine difference.
Each Mental Health First Aider trained through the initiative is equipped with the knowledge and confidence to recognise mental health challenges, start important conversations, and signpost individuals towards appropriate support.
For Rizon, this work is about more than delivering training – it’s about helping to create stronger, more resilient communities.
Ian Clark, Founder of IED Training and Operations Director at Rizon, said:
“Reaching this milestone is something we’re incredibly proud of. Our partnership with RSABI demonstrates how effective training, delivered with purpose, can have a real and lasting impact.
Mental health support is essential in every sector, but particularly in industries like agriculture where people can often feel isolated. We’re honoured to play a role in helping create safer, more supportive environments for Scotland’s farming communities.”
This programme, supported by RSABI and funding partners including NFU Mutual Charitable Trust, continues to expand its reach across Scotland, ensuring more individuals and organisations have access to life-changing support and training.
At Rizon, we believe training should do more than educate – it should empower, inspire, and create meaningful change.
We’re incredibly proud of what has been achieved so far through this partnership, and we look forward to continuing this important work together.
