When considering the challenges that construction workers face, mental health isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind.

A 2020 study found that almost 6 percent of the construction workers surveyed experienced depression, and 14.3 percent experienced anxiety. Not surprisingly, the Covid pandemic only made things worse. While those conditions aren’t always disabling, they can lead to catastrophic consequences if not treated seriously and adequately.
