On the September episode of Voices of CFMA, Sonya Bohmann, Executive Director of the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention (CIASP), joins us for an important conversation about mental health in the construction industry. We discuss the formation of CIASP, the resources available to help prevent suicide, and the critical role self-care plays. As part of Suicide Prevention Month, this episode sheds light on how we can all contribute to creating a culture of support and awareness within the construction industry.
