Roofing professionals discuss mental health and addiction in NRCA’s latest podcast episode

NRCA has released the latest episode of its podcast series, “RoofTalk with NRCA.”

We are complex creatures who can all use help navigating emotional highs and lows, self-esteem issues, relationship struggles, and the constant process of learning and growth. During this episode, “The messiness of being human,” Kara Houck McCaffrey, chief wellness officer at Houck, and Paul Reed, co-founder of Roofers in Recovery, discuss the historically “macho” culture in the roofing industry and how it can affect whether workers seek mental health support; signs for employers and workers to look for in others regarding mental health and addiction; and how leaders can ensure their employees’ mental health is supported, among other topics.
