As YANA increases their rural mental health support in East Anglia, they have taken the difficult decision to scale back their work in Worcestershire and pass the baton to RABI.

While YANA’s services will no longer be available in Worcestershire from 31 March, RABI is pleased to be able to provide mental health counselling and training alongside the rest of our services for Worcestershire, and for all counties in England and Wales.

Having worked closely with YANA and their supporters in the county to transition the support available, all funds previously raised for YANA in Worcestershire will continue to fund these services in the county under RABI.

What does this mean for those in Worcestershire?

• Continued support accessible at no cost for those in agriculture who are struggling.
• No personal data YANA holds will be shared with RABI.
• Any calls that are made to the YANA helpline will be taken and if appropriate, with the caller’s permission, YANA will arrange a call from RABI to arrange counselling.
• You can contact RABI directly for support through their 24/7 helpline 0800 188 4444.
• Anyone that has expressed an interest in mental health training with YANA, will be notified of forthcoming courses in Worcestershire, with details of how to book a place.
