EP 10 - El suicidio en el sector de la construcción
Los hombres del sector de la construcción mueren a causa del suicidio a un ritmo aproximadamente dos veces superior al de otras personas en edad laboral. Este podcast explora los factores que lo producen, los signos y síntomas, y las acciones que pueden llevar a cabo los individuos, las empresas y las comunidades para desestigmatizar el problema y ayudarse entre sí. El Dr. John Gaal comparte su experiencia y sus recomendaciones desde la perspectiva de alguien con muchos años en el sector, y que además perdió a su hijo por suicidio. La presentación original tuvo lugar como parte de un seminario virtual de CPWR, Preventing Suicide in the Construction Industry (Prevención del suicidio en la industria de la construcción), que puede verse en su totalidad en https://youtu.be/P1K-_mv9Hdg.
Oradores: Jessica Bunting, MPH, Directora de Investigación a la Práctica (r2p), CPWR; Miembro del Consejo de Administración, CIASP John Gaal, EdD, CHW, Director de bienestar de los trabajadores - Iniciativa Missouri Works (Mo AFL-CIO)
