Listen "Episode 5: Suicide Awareness in the Construction Industry"
Episode Synopsis
TW: Depression, Addiction, Suicide
Nobody shies away from hard work, but what happens when everything else around you becomes hard to bear?
Some may reach out for help, take steps to improve their situation and strengthen their efforts. Many others might not get help or know how to. Instead, they’ll fall into deep depression or addiction, which can lead to many more issues.
This is especially true for high-risk industries like construction, which is currently facing record-high suicide and substance abuse rates.
Safety Pro Brian Camper joined us to talk about contributing factors to depression and suicide in high risk industries, and what can be done to reduce the loss of life.
