Mental Health: How Construction Workers Really Cope | Russell Stilwell

Episode #078 | Russell Stilwell


Today, we have a powerful chat with Russell Stilwell, founder of The Padded Cell, to uncover the raw truth behind mental health in the construction industry.

From a life-changing site accident to losing his best mate and dad, Russ opens up about trauma, substance abuse, and the harsh realities many tradespeople face but never talk about.

The pair dive deep into site cultures & stigmas, the good & the bad in coping mechanisms and the pressure of running SMEs.
