In this episode, Dr. Erin Craw discusses mental health in the workplace, specifically in the construction industry. She highlights the need to shift the conversation from focusing solely on mental illness to promoting mental health and wellbeing. Dr. Craw explains the cultural barriers and expectations that contribute to the stigma surrounding mental health in the construction industry and emphasizes the importance of education and knowledge in understanding the physiological responses to stress and mental health challenges. Dr. Erin Craw emphasizes the importance of relationship building and consistent follow-up in mental health conversations.
