Discussing Mental Health in Construction | Vince Hafeli | TEDxUniversityofMississippi

In the construction industry, five times more people die from suicide than from job accidents. Vince Hafeli was almost a part of that statistic, and now he is on a mission to change the culture of the construction workplace. Vince Hafeli is an international speaker, author, and advocate for mental health and suicide awareness in the workplace. The President of Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, Hafeli has dedicated over 38 years of his life to the construction industry. Currently (2023), he is working toward a Doctor of Business Administration to further his research and training skills related to suicide in the construction field, while developing approaches to increase support for worker’s mental health needs.
