Construction professionals face some of the highest rates of stress, burnout, and suicide of any industry, yet conversations about mental health often remain silent on jobsites. Drawing from the findings of Clayco’s recent mental health study, Tony Glover shares critical insights into the pressures facing today’s workforce and the impact those pressures have on safety, performance, and long-term career sustainability.

In this session, participants will explore the realities behind the data and learn practical strategies for recognizing early warning signs of burnout, stress, and mental fatigue among young workers entering the skilled trades and other high-pressure careers. Attendees will walk away with a simple framework they can use to start meaningful conversations about mental health, create psychologically safer environments, and introduce preventative practices that encourage individuals to “break before they break.”

Participants will leave equipped with tools, talking points, and strategies to support healthier, more resilient future workforces.
