They’re Making Mental Health Worse in Construction w/ Rich Jones (DT 459)

July 9, 2026 They’re Making Mental Health Worse in Construction w/ Rich Jones (DT 459) Rich Jones is the founder of BuildWell Health, a behavioral health company built specifically for the construction industry, a licensed clinical addiction specialist, and a person in recovery himself from opioid and alcohol use disorder for over 26 years. He watched the industry spend years talking about mental health at safety weeks and conferences — and nothing change — so he built a model that works. He reveals why construction doesn't have a mental health problem — it has a systems problem — and why the companies still handing out EAP phone numbers and calling it done are making things worse, not better.
