MOJO Worldwide: Beneath the Hard Hat with Sonya Bohmann

In this appearance, Sonya Bohmann continues to champion the mission of the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention (CIASP), bringing attention to the real mental health challenges facing construction workers and the responsibility the industry has to respond. Through thoughtful conversation and practical insight, she highlights the importance of reducing stigma, creating cultures of care, and recognizing that mental health is just as critical to jobsite safety as physical safety.


Sonya emphasizes that meaningful change happens when leaders, coworkers, and organizations are willing to start the conversation and support one another with compassion and action. Her message reinforces that suicide prevention is not the responsibility of one person or one company alone, but a shared commitment across the industry.
