SUBSTANCE MISUSE
SUPPORT
We promote open conversations and education to foster a safer, more supportive environment for all.
WHY IT MATTERS?
Mental health, substance misuse and suicide are still not talked about enough within agricultural and equestrian communities. Too often, people feel pressure to carry on, keep things to themselves and face difficult times alone.
Cresco exists to shine a light on these issues, break down stigma and make conversations around mental health and wellbeing easier to have. We want people to feel able to speak up, seek support and know that they don’t have to face it alone.
CONFIDENTIAL SUPPORT
We provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can reach out when you are struggling, worried about someone else, or simply need a compassionate listener. Your privacy is our priority.
EARLY SUPPORT
At Cresco, we believe that growth starts before the crisis. You don't need to wait until you're at breaking point to ask for help. We are here to listen, understand, and support you through every stage of your journey, providing the compassionate foundation you need to grow stronger and more resilient.

ROOTED IN GROWTH
The name Cresco comes from the Latin word meaning 'I grow' or 'I grow, increase and develop.' This reflects our core philosophy: people, communities and agriculture all need the right conditions to grow. We exist to create a safer, more supportive environment for those working and living within agriculture and rural communities.
