Support Pipelines' Podcast with David Hermanson-Season 2, Episode 38, Guest Kim Titus

In this deeply moving episode of the Support Pipelines podcast, Kim Titus courageously shares her personal journey following the loss of her son, Braden, to suicide. Kim opens up about the impact of mental health struggles and suicide within the construction industry, offering an honest and heartfelt perspective. She also discusses the founding of the Thumbs Up Foundation, which works to shift the narrative around mental health and create supportive, open environments for those who are struggling. Together, they explore the challenges of driving change, the importance of research, and the need for safe spaces where individuals can have honest conversations about mental health. Kim’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of lived experiences in shaping supportive systems, and the need to view mental health as a journey, not a binary state. We are deeply grateful to Kim for sharing her story, and we hope it helps others who may be facing similar challenges.
