Nothing kills momentum faster than a shiny new “mental health initiative” that feels like it was written by a committee of robots. Real people want real buy-in, real responsiveness, and real results.

Construction is teaching us to flip the script: don’t just expect leaders to hold everyone else — build systems that hold them. That’s how culture change sticks.
Losing a client to suicide can be devastating personally to a therapist, but professionally, there also can be many unforeseen consequences.

Veterans’ Mental Health: Where We Need to Focus
Veterans face unique mental health challenges that too often go under-addressed, from military sexual trauma and transitional stress to the long-term impact of PTSD. These experiences don’t just affect mental well-being—they can shape every aspect of a Veteran’s life, from personal relationships to reintegration into civilian roles. Yet there is reason to be hopeful: today, more than ever, there’s a focus on empowering Veterans as community and workplace mental health leaders. With evolving peer support programs and resources designed to remove cultural and financial barriers, we’re seeing real progress in providing accessible, culturally competent mental health care. By positioning Veterans at the forefront of these initiatives, we can harness their resilience and leadership, creating stronger communities and workplaces while ensuring they receive the support they deserve.
