Suicide is a significant and overlooked issue in various industries. Among the sectors most affected are construction and trades, installation, maintenance and repairs, and agriculture, particularly for men. These fields face high stress, long hours, and job insecurity, which can contribute to mental health struggles. Within oil and gas, the reliance on construction and skilled trades to build infrastructure links this sector closely with some of the highest suicide rates. Many oil and gas workers hail from farming backgrounds.

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in workplace attitudes toward mental health, with younger leaders increasingly recognizing its connection to overall performance and safety. This change has led to a stronger demand for mental health initiatives, particularly in high-risk industries. By building basic suicide prevention skills across these sectors, workplaces can become more prepared and supportive. Offering employees and managers the tools to recognize warning signs and engage in compassionate conversations is a crucial step in addressing mental health challenges and preventing potential crises before they escalate.

My guest, Tara Adams, is a specialist in workplace health and wellness with a focus on the highest-risk industries for suicide. Taking a pragmatic, hands-on approach, Tara provides training and coaching to help businesses create safer workplace environments where suicide prevention is a priority. By making these skills accessible through remote and mobile training, she aims to equip employees with the confidence to support their peers and foster a culture of care and awareness.
