The construction industry has the 2nd highest rate of suicide in the U.S. Globally, the numbers aren't much better. Construction is a tough job for a lot of reasons: time spent away from family, seasonal wage fluctuations, physical injuries, substance abuse, and a "suck it up" culture that can silence any cries for help.
But, it doesn't have to be that way.
In this special episode of The Real MF'ers, Randy Thompson from LivingWorks joins Scott Peper to share a message of hope for the entire industry.
To shift the culture of the industry, all it takes is business owners and leaders (like YOU!) to start talking about the importance of mental health and suicide prevention.
