Episode Synopsis

This week on Coastlines to Cranes, Shandon Harbour opens up a conversation about one of the toughest challenges in our industry - mental health. From long hours and physical strain to the unspoken pressure to “be tough,” construction workers face unique struggles that can take a real toll. Shandon explores why breaking the stigma matters, the human cost of silence, and how programs like VitalCog are giving apprentices tools for resilience and support that extend far beyond the jobsite. This is a reminder that protecting our minds is just as important as protecting our bodies - and that wellness is strength, not weakness. Want to connect with Shandon?
