Building Mental Wellness Kathryn Ely

Kathryn, a licensed counselor, and Teresa, a construction and management consultant, had a life changing conversation one day about mental health in the construction industry. Teresa shared how she had recently sat through still another conference presentation on the high risk of suicide in the engineering, construction, and extraction industries, and was again reminded that this industries' suicide rate is six times greater than it is for the American population.




By the end of this conversation, both Teresa and Kathryn knew so much more could be done, not only to prevent suicide, but to build a foundation for strong mental health in these and other industries.




They created a complete mental wellness program, based on science and proven methods, including the tools necessary to implement this program.
