Mini-Boom Toolbox Talk: Breaking the Stigma
Manage episode 463447658 series 3374017
The construction industry has the second highest rate of suicide. Yet, the stigma associated with being vulnerable about personal struggles or asking for support remains a major roadblock to reducing suicides. Addressing stigma head-on can encourage workers to get help and reduce suicides.
In this mini-boom toolbox talk, we discuss ways to destigmatize mental health challenges and promote supportive and help-seeking behaviors.
If you want to talk with somebody about personal and professional challenges, the Construction Careline is a confidential, non-judgmental, and safe space to get support for tough challenges.
