Mental health challenges in the trades remain a significant issue, with suicide rates nearly four times higher than the national average. Morton has dedicated his career to reducing stigma and building supportive workplace cultures. During his presentation, he will share his personal experiences with anxiety and family mental health struggles while highlighting the importance of being “Visible, Vocal, and Vulnerable.”

Key topics include:

• Destigmatizing mental health in male‑dominated trades.
• The Three V’s, a framework for safer, more supportive jobsite culture.
• Practical resources tailored to students and trades professionals.
