"Nobody asked me how I was."www.thelostcity.org "Lets save the next 7000."

7000 tradesmen have taken their own lives over the last 10 years. That's 2 tradesmen every day: enough tradespeople to build a city the size of Cardiff.- Project 7000 | The Lost City -"The construction industry has a suicide rate four times the national average. It's a crisis, but one that's relatively unknown outside the industry. By visualising exactly what they could have built, The Lost City addresses this crisis, showing the true scale of construction suicides. This is the city that could exist if the construction suicide crisis didn’t."In this week's Trade Legends episode, we discuss Mental Health within the construction industry with a few familiar faces - Lee @OnTheToolsOfficial , Kryss and James. Both Kryss and James contemplated and even attempted to take their own lives. Each guest explains how they found themselves in that situation, but also how they were able to find the professional help that ultimately saved their lives. 'Project 7000 aims to highlight these issues within construction, bringing to light the horrific statistics regarding mental health within the trades.What is the aim of the project? To raise £2.5 million to help anyone in the trades who feels they have nowhere to turn.Whether you're a plumber, electrician, carpenter, bricklayer or in any other trade...DO NOT SUFFER ALONE. Talk.
