Welcome to Series 7 of the BIM Academy Digital Climate Podcast with host and BIM Academy Managing Director, Dr Graham Kelly. In this series Graham uncovers the connection between mental health and wellbeing, and their role in high performing workplaces within the construction industry.

Our goal at BIM Academy is to empower everyone facing life's challenges with the knowledge that help is always available.

In this episode Graham talks with two guests who are mental health champions and the driving force behind the “Get Construction Talking” campaign to destigmatise mental health: Fred Mills, Founder of The B1M and Sasha Reed, Senior Director for Strategic Business Development at Procore Technologies.

Fred and Sasha explain more about the need to get construction talking and what mental health means to them, as well as their own personal experiences. They look at the rising suicide rates in construction workers, and why we need to understand that humans are non renewable resources!
