    Effie Argyropoulos from Digital Public Square joins us to shed light on the pressing issue of opioid use in the construction industry. Through her insightful discussion, discover how their innovative digital tool Level Up not only raises awareness but also provides critical resources for intervention in a sector hard-hit by opioid-related deaths.

    Uncover the complexities of managing chronic pain amidst the backdrop of labor-intensive industries, where personal stories of prescribed opioid use for injury recovery highlight the challenges faced by workers. We explore the workplace stigma associated with substance use, emphasizing the fears of job security and safety concerns on construction sites. We look at the role of Level Up as a preventative measure, aiming to support individuals within the framework of safety and health, balanced with the employer's responsibilities and liabilities.

    Engage in a discussion on fostering open communication in the workplace, essential for supporting mental health and resilience. Effie gives a compelling narrative on the importance of empathetic, evidence-based policies and the need for systemic solutions that empower both employers and workers. By focusing on the intersection of politics, policy-making, and the opioid crisis, we address the broader societal factors at play and highlight the urgent need for understanding, compassion, and collective action in creating a healthier construction industry.
