Risk Matrix #121: Mental Health Monitoring: Beyond the Checkboxes
Safety professionals know mental health is a problem. But knowing and having resources to actually help your team are two different things.
Pete Smith, Founder and CEO of Confyde, joins Dr. Martin and James to discuss a platform designed to move beyond awareness and into action. From confidential check-ins to real-time data on workforce mental health, this conversation explores what early intervention actually looks like in high-risk industries.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Mental health awareness isn’t the same as mental health action. Companies have EAP numbers and training programs, but workers still aren’t getting help when they need it most.
- Early intervention beats crisis response. Confidential check-ins catch struggles before they become emergencies, and workers actually use them because the barrier to reaching out is lower.
- Data tells you what’s really happening. Anonymous responses show how workers actually feel, not how they think they should respond when their name is attached.
