Mental Health Awareness - Where do we Start? with Kevin Hilton
Conversations about mental health awareness are valuable, but taking action to improve mental health issues is how powerful changes are made. Kevin Hilton, CEO of IMPACT, and Bert Royer, 38-year member of the Iron Workers Union and IMPACT’s Canadian Regional Director, join our host, Sue Steele, in an open conversation about enacting meaningful advancements with mental health problems. Mr. Royer explains the most damaging mental health stressors including financial stress and job demand. The guests elaborate on resources such as the 988 lifeline as well as Mr. Royer’s involvement with the Construction Industry Institute and the Construction Safety Research Alliance, where he was involved in Research Team 401 that reviewed medical literature and collected data from construction workers to create a practical mental health guide for construction professionals.
