Wally Adamchik said, "The book scared the hell out of me and is a must-read for any human."
Jennifer Wolgemuth, Ph.D., said, "Vince is a groundbreaker in every sense of the word. With relentless compassion and commitment, he unearths the deep pain and helplessness of suicide in the construction industry without shying away from his and others' suffering. This book offers much-needed industry information and up-to-date research on mental health, paving the way for managers and executives to improve the working conditions, mental health, and lives of their most at-risk workers. This book is a must-read for anyone impacted by suicide and everyone committed to preventing it."
The construction industry has the second-highest suicide rate in the U.S. While the industry loses two to three workers each day to job-related accidents, they lose ten to fifteen each day to suicide. Listen as Vince tells the story of his phenomenal life until he attempts to end it.
I share twelve individual stories from those who lost someone to suicide and the results of executive level industry interviews.
