What a milestone.
@TheB1M and
@procoretech's Get Construction Talking campaign has now raised more than $600,000 for construction mental health charities worldwide, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone that's donated so far. We’re more than halfway to our $1M goal, but the journey is far from over.

Commenting on the news, Procore’s CEO Tooey Courtemanche said: “Since launching this campaign, many leaders of some of the largest construction companies in the world have reached out to me to reaffirm its importance. In fact, one of our largest contributors so far was a personal donation from the CEO of an ENR 400 company. It’s encouraging to see the industry come together to break the stigma around this topic.”
The B1M’s founder
@Fred_Mills, who has publicly shared his own struggles with mental health as part of the campaign, said: “It's amazing to see Get Construction Talking reach this point and testament to the widespread desire there is across the industry to address this issue. Getting this right is one of the keys to the future success of construction. If we don’t get this right, the skills crisis will continue, the labor shortage will continue, and we will lose our most valuable, and important resource – people.”
