When you think about jobsite hazards, physical risks are probably at the top of the list but what about the dangers you can’t see? Construction workers are statistically at a higher risk for mental health issues than virtually every other profession and have the highest suicide rates of all industries. A 2020 study found that 83% of construction workers have experienced a mental health issue. This and more, including how to talk about it, will be discussed on May 11, 2023, at 7 am PT / 10 am ET, grab your coffee and join us!
