Boom Goes The Stigma

Forging A New Perspective

Hunter Moen, Anna Klein, Max Margolis

We are thrilled to share our dynamic conversation with Paul Diaz. Paul is a Business Representative with Iron Workers Local 29. With nearly twenty years of experience in ironwork, Paul brings a fascinating, heartfelt, and engaging perspective to mental wellness and suicide prevention. 

In this episode, Paul lays out how Iron Workers Local 29 is promoting suicide prevention, creating a more positive job culture, and forging pathways to help and support. 

We appreciate Paul sharing his on-the-ground, up-in-the-air, and gritty perspective on how ironworkers are addressing substance abuse and suicide. 

If you need support or feel distressed, you can call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, to speak with a trained crisis intervention specialist.

You can also reach out to the Alcohol & Drug Helpline at 800-923-4357.
