I won't ever stop advocating for breaking the stigma around talking about mental health for my colleagues in construction.
I am where I am because, whether I asked for help or struggled in silence - I had people there for me. Some of those folks I have never met, and maybe never will.
The point I am trying to explain is working in construction can and will be stressful, but there are so many others wearing the same shoes who can understand where you are and will be more than happy to share their experiences.
Builders helping builders, tradies helping tradies.
How I found myself in this position is a matter of chance. I filled a form out, I shared why I decided to fill that form out; and here I am. What does it mean? I honestly don't know yet.
