Ever wondered how a journeyman lineman evolves into a mental health champion in the construction industry? Join us as we uncover Joshua Vitale’s compelling journey to becoming an influential advocate for mental well-being on job sites. Through his personal stories and transformative experiences like the Landmark Forum, Joshua reveals how intrinsic motivation and mental health awareness can reshape the construction sector.

The stakes are high as we delve into the pressing issue of suicide prevention within the construction industry. Learn about the inspiring Hoffman Construction’s "Tough Enough to Talk" initiative. We discuss how such programs, alongside the efforts of the Construction Suicide Prevention Partnership and Lines for Life, are creating supportive environments and fostering a culture change on job sites. Discover the importance of community centers and private GUTS rooms in offering confidential spaces for workers to seek support, and how these efforts are making a difference.

We also tackle the complexities of masculinity and respect in a male-dominated field. Through candid conversations, we examine the treatment of female safety professionals, the broader spectrum of masculinity, and the role of the workplace as a sanctuary amidst modern life's pressures. This episode provides a comprehensive look at the importance of psychological safety for everyone on the construction site.
