The importance of mental health and wellbeing is crucial for the trades.

Construction and trade industries face some of the highest suicide rates in the country.

To tackle this, PHCPPros has launched the Rugged Mind and Body mission, to help improve the mental health and wellness of our tradespeople.

Our panel looks at how to drive real change and improve lives, provide practical insights that are specific to the unique challenges of tradespeople, and explain how RUGGED means more than just showing up for the job –it means staying strong in body, mind and spirit.
