Beneath the Hard Hat exposes the hidden mental health struggles of construction workers, revealing the harsh realities of an industry that often leaves its workforce to suffer in silence. Despite promises of support, many workers face crippling anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, with little help due to stigma and fear.
Through powerful firsthand accounts, this book highlights the devastating effects of neglecting mental health, ranging from workplace bullying to the relentless pressure to perform. These stories are not just heartbreaking, but a call to action for a systemic shift that prioritizes mental well-being alongside safety and productivity.
Beneath the Hard Hat urges readers to recognize the humanity behind the hard hats and steel-toed boots, advocating for a culture where workers' mental health is taken seriously, and true support is more than a promise, it's a priority.
