New Research on Mental Health & Construction Part 2
Professor Behzad Esmaeili, PhD, and his team from Purdue University will cover suicide prevention for ironworkers and share what they’ve learned about employer-led suicide prevention and the effectiveness of two suicide awareness trainings created by LivingWorks, a suicide prevention and intervention training company. Professor Bradley Evanoff MD, MPH, of Washington University in St. Louis, will then share the findings from his study, Peer Support Programs to Promote Mental Health Among Construction Workers. Dr. Evanoff and his team evaluated two peer support programs implemented in the St. Louis area – one carried out by the Construction Laborers Health and Welfare fund, and the other by a local construction firm, the Tarlton Corporation. After the presentations, there will be some time for Q&A with our panelists. Feel free to submit questions in advance through the registration link below.
