This week on Behind the Tools, we welcome Slade McFarland to the show. Slade works for Mates in Construction, a charity dedicated to reducing the high levels of suicide in the construction industry. Join Slade and our host Michael as they talk about troubles in the trades, workmate wellness, and the need for courage in construction.
