About
Your employees are ready and open to help. They simply need to know it is okay to ask, and that they have a place to go once they accept it. Youturn Health provides cutting-edge and virtual behavioral health tools to the association’s members, bridging the gap between inaction and seeking treatment by making support accessible to employees who are grappling with stress, anxiety, depression, or suicidal ideation.
Youturn Health prides itself on providing access to care, connecting members within 48-hours of when support is most needed. And they help organizations create a culture where employees feel comfortable asking for support for themselves, their colleagues, and even their family members.
The partnership entitles ARTBA members to discounted pricing and is specifically catered to meet the needs of small-to-medium-sized businesses. ARTBA will not profit from this partnership. Any royalties that materialize will be used to further discount Youturn Health’s services or donated to a worthy charity.

The Safety Zone Podcast
A three-part series on mental health and suicide intervention in the transportation construction industry.
Ep. 1 with Vince Hafeli
President, Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, LLC
“… When I would ask companies how they began to address this topic, more than 60% of the companies said, “Well, we did it after we lost someone to suicide.” So the majority of companies didn’t do anything until they lost someone.”
“To me, the silver bullet is that the leaders have to talk about it, because nothing happens until they do.”

Ep. 2 with Zachry Construction Corp.
“… We recognized and had to admit that we have mental health issues in our organization, our team members have issues they’re dealing with—they’re people—and that we wanted to get more actively involved and proactive about trying to help open a dialogue, help to do away with some of the stigma of mental health … and then creating a safe environment for all of our people to … be the best versions of themselves.”

Ep. 3 — In Their Own Words
Panel Discussion
“… We still have to be vulnerable … and sometimes we just need to put our pride away, put it on the shelf, because pride is the downfall … People are so prideful they don’t want to admit they have a failure. Just imagine not being able to admit that, and then the moment goes by and that person is gone and you’ll never be able to have that conversation.”
