The crack has gone from the site, you know, and we use to live and thrive on the crack. Everybody had a crack on site, but now that's after being stemmed. And you know you get into this state that you've put yourself into. The statistics aren't there, and this is why I had to bring that up yesterday- that two construction workers a day take their own lives in the UK, Two A Day. Construction workers take their life a year in the UK.
Picture this: a bustling construction site where the physical demands are high, but the mental toll is often overlooked. In this episode of 'The Two Norries', hosts James Leonard and Timmy Long welcome back Ger O'Brien, a master EFT practitioner and spiritual healer, to shed light on the pressing issue of mental health in the construction industry.
With his unique blend of emotional freedom techniques and spiritual insights, Ger dives into the challenges tradespeople face and why mental health often takes a backseat in this field. He doesn't just talk about the problem; he offers practical solutions like mental strength training, self-affirmation, and modern stress management techniques. One jaw-dropping fact he shares is that two construction workers in the UK take their own lives every day. This alarming statistic underscores the urgent need for change.
Throughout the episode, James, Timmy, and Ger explore how to break down the stigma surrounding mental health and create a culture of support and compassion within the industry. Whether you're in construction or know someone who is, this conversation is a crucial listen. It’s a heartfelt call to action to prioritize mental well-being in a field that builds our world but often neglects its own builders.
