Dear Charles,
A short note of thanks from myself and the construction management students at UTS for taking the time to talk to us about the critically important subject of mental health well being in the construction industry.
Your willingness to engage in an open, honest and sometimes deeply personal conversation about this important issue has made an impression on us all.
Our students are the future leaders of our industry and I have no doubt that your ongoing work will play a major role in changing the culture of our industry for the better, where it needs to be changed.
Kind regards
