Life Gets Tough and We've Got to Put Some Tools in Place to Get Through | Memorable Moments
Manage episode 386213368 series 2950640
Construction has some of the highest suicide rates of any industry and as psychologist and former construction worker Simon Tyler will tell you, that's partly down to the hyper masculine culture that exists on work sites.
Simo’s good mate Richie Welch has been in the construction game for more than two decades and there was a time both men were saved by a single conversation, so they know as well as anyone the power of speaking up and being heard.
After enduring a multitude of suicides within their tight knit community, they decided enough is enough and have since gone above and beyond to create their own mental health charity, 'The Next Step Australia' - a volunteer service that's been helping to save lives for years, acting as a first port of call for blokes who need help.
