How we organize our life to balance competing work-life demands impacts our overall mental health and wellness. Consider using this checklist (pg. 46) to identify areas where you can prioritize areas for change and make change by setting small specific goals. This checklist can be used personally, and you can use it to review with your supervisor to ensure you are in agreement with priorities. It can be helpful to explore changes and improvements to identified support/demand/control needs.
*This checklist is intended as a starting point to explore individual needs to thrive in construction environment. This checklist is not intended as legal or medical advice.*
