We open up the show with shocking mental health statistics and discuss approaching people with curiosity, finding what's important to you, brain dumping, problematic masculine norms, and the line between executives and labourers. Manny came to play devil's advocate on this episode of The New Tough.

On November 30th, 2023 – 9-8-8 – a suicide hotline launched across Canada. The $158.4-million project is funded and overseen by the public health agency and led by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto.

9-8-8 is available in English and French 24 hours a day, 365 days per year across Canada. Call or Text.

988’s website is: https://988.ca/

If your safety is at risk, call 9-1-1 right away.

Not many people know that you can go to the hospital’s emergency department where you stress to the triage nurse that you are having mental health issues and that you need to speak to the crisis response team. They have a system that you have to follow and eventually you do meet a psychologist that’s on call and you do get the help you need.

Want to support CAMH with research funding for mental health data and initiatives? With your support, we can change mental health care forever and ask people to go to camh.ca to donate whatever they can manage - every little bit helps.

Lastly, dear listener, we’d like to hear from you:

• Is there something missing? Something that the industry could be doing? Doing more of? Or doing different?
• Did something resonate with you during our podcast? If so, would you be willing to share what that is?
• Has any of the information help put some perspective on mental health in the construction industry? If so, what were your biggest takeaways?
• Anything else we should know?

Find our guests.

As constructors we know safety is crucial at all times! But, having team members not follow, or even worse know, safety protocols is just one thing that can cause us stress and anxiety in the workplace.

So how can we deal better with this and all the other challenges we face daily - such as having to call the entire team just to make sure jobs get done in a safe manner, or update team members -one by one- that there is a training they need to complete regarding a certain tool, or a new regulation to complete in order to stay safe and compliant? Only to then go ahead and figure out how to know who read, who didn’t read, document everything in folders..yes, we deal with a lot!
