SPIRO TALKS LESLEE MONTGOMERY Thick Skin: Calm Mind
Born to help, it was the construction industry that ended up saving my life. In all honesty, I didn't choose health and safety. It chose me. When I began in this industry, my focus was on patching people up and sending them back into the battlefield we call work. At some point, things shifted for me; a quote from the movie 'Robots' kept circling in my head: "See a need, fill a need." The frequency of mental health issues within construction is alarming—with one in five construction workers reporting struggles with mental health issues. Apart from the odd EAP, there was zero support for mental health, not even a random wellness newsletter!
I saw the need. I discovered how to fill the need for mentally safe worksites.
Through my work, I have become a trusted advocate for mental health, ensuring that construction sites are not just physically safe but mentally supportive as well. By fostering open communication and providing the necessary resources, I help create an environment where workers feel valued and supported. This approach has not only improved the well-being of the individuals I work with but has also led to more cohesive and productive teams.
