“If you don’t want your people knocking on my door anymore, then change the culture of your company to be more like ours.”
Episode Description

Vince Hafeli is one of the leaders in the construction industry when it comes to suicide awareness and prevention. Sharing his personal journey with suicide, Vince shares a lot of great information in this episode including his own suicide attempt story, why the construction industry struggles with the issue, how to create mental health programs in your workplace, and more.
