Embrace FARM

Embrace FARM was established in 2014 by Brian and Norma Rohan of Shanahoe, Co Laois followng the sudden death of Brian's father Liam on the farm in 2012. The couple felt there was no support for families like theirs who were grieving the sudden loss of a loved one in a farm tragedy. From here they decided to hold an ecumenical remembrance service to remember all those lost in farm accidents over the years. The first service was held in Abbeyleix in 2014 and has ben held annually on the last Sunday of June since then. 

The organisation received its chariable status in 2017, and through the dedication of a voluntary board of directors made up of families affected by sudden loss or injury and those from the Agri Industry, the organistion has grown. It now supports over 350 families through its peer-to-peer services such as support groups, residential counselling weekends, and advocacy for those affected by sudden loss on family farms. 

In 2022, Embrace FARM was one of 8 organisations to be funded by the Department of Agriculture's EIP-Agri Programme to run it's pilot programme called ‘Encircle’. This programme supports families by provided them with emotional and practical guidance in the immediate aftermath of a sudden death or injury on the farm. The single point of access to professional services such as counselling, legal, agri or financial guidance means farm families can be assured they will speak to someone that understands the unique business of farming and the impact sudden loss or injury can have on this and the families it supports.
