Become That Voice for Others: Normalizing Mental Health in the Construction Industry


Listen Later

Raffi Elchemmas and Jennifer Massey are dedicated individuals with an important mission — to help normalize talking about and raising awareness for mental health in the construction industry.

There are about 5,000 deaths by suicide a year in construction in the U.S. There are several challenges to consider, such as the job being physically demanding, the high probability of injury in the workplace, environmental factors, the long hours, and the traveling required. But there are resources and support in place to help people in the trades to deal with mental health issues.

As senior members of the MCAA and the United Association, respectively, Raffi and Jennifer stop by to share their professional experiences with us and highlight the importance of addressing mental health in construction.

Join us as we discuss:

 

  • [10:54] The importance of mental health in the construction industry

  • [35:01] Warning signs that someone may be having mental health challenges

  • [49:01] Available resources and support for those struggling with mental health
