Join RoofersCoffeeShop® as we open up conversations about what is top of mind for roofing contractors and the overall roofing industry right now! Two Thursday mornings a month (7 a.m. PT), the team at RCS will video chat with the roofing industry and leading professionals in a Q&A format. Pour a cup of coffee and bring your questions and best practices online as contractors talk to each other while learning from a variety of business and industry experts.
In this RoofersCoffeeShop® Coffee Conversations, sponsored by WTI, host Megan Ellsworth is joined by Mandy McIntyre, CM development manager at Weatherproofing Technologies Inc.; Kara (Houck) McCaffrey, chief wellness officer at Houck Group, Inc.; and McKay Daniels CEO of National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) for an important discussion on suicide prevention in construction. Mental health is an essential part of workplace safety, especially in construction, where suicide rates remain significantly higher than the general population. Together, they will address common myths, signs that someone may need support and how to start difficult but potentially life-saving conversations. The panel will also explore resources and ways companies can strengthen mental health support and how Construction Suicide Prevention Week can help turn awareness into lasting action.
