Have you ever wondered how deeply the construction industry's culture impacts mental health? Meet Mike Pugh, Safety Manager at Evergreen Innovation Group, who shares his brave journey through recovery and his ongoing commitment to mental health advocacy. Mike's story sheds light on the strenuous pressures faced by construction workers, the culture of silence, and the necessity of supportive work environments. Discover how his extensive background in large commercial projects and his role as a safety manager are helping to transform the industry’s approach to mental well-being.
Mike learned some tough lessons throughout his journey. He opens up about the "gray areas" of life, moving away from black-and-white thinking, and balancing family responsibilities with personal struggles. His honest reflections on battling substance abuse offer hope and guidance for those on the same tumultuous path.
In this episode, we also explore practical solutions for improving mental health in the construction industry. Mike discusses the importance of changing the language surrounding mental health to reduce stigma and make conversations more approachable. Learn about the pressing need for effective mental health programs from the ground up and how fostering open dialogue can create a culture where seeking help is as normalized as adhering to physical safety protocols. This episode promises to be a beacon of hope and a call to action for those working in high-stress, physically demanding environments.
