And how do you know when to seek help for mental health issues? Huge demand, ongoing constraints and no clear answer as to when the current challenges facing the residential building industry will end – there’s many reasons as to why members of our industry may be experiencing feelings they haven’t before. This episode is an invaluable listen for everyone involved in the industry, as Dr Grant Blashki ( Lead Clinical Advisor for Beyond Blue) talks through ways to recognise a mate in need, how to recognise when you’re feeling more stressed than usual, and what are the steps to take when help is required – especially with COVID having lingering impacts on many businesses and the industry as a whole. HIA’s partnership with Beyond Blue is proudly brought to you by the HIA Charitable Foundation thanks to the generous support of HIA members.
