Episode 26 - Mental Health in Construction: Breaking the Silence

In this powerful episode, Jess and Kurt dive into a critical issue facing the building industry: mental health.

With construction workers facing one of the highest suicide rates among all industries, we explore why this is happening, what builders can do to protect themselves and their teams, and real stories from the trenches. We discuss burnout, financial stress, relationship breakdowns, and the stigma around seeking help—plus practical strategies to create a healthier work environment.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone.
