The Recovery + Construction Circle was created to provide a safe and supportive space for people in the design and building industry who are also in recovery (at any stage and from any substance). 

In an industry with high rates of substance use, stress, and injury coupled with stigma around mental health and support, HELM is committed to supporting the development of healthy workplaces in our sector.

We meet monthly on Zoom for 1.25 hours.

Our BIPOC circle is a space where our clients who identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color can come together to share their experiences, connect with others, and discuss ways we can work together to create a more inclusive and equitable construction industry. We believe that everyone deserves a voice and a seat at the table, and we're committed to creating a safe and supportive space where all of our clients can feel heard and valued.
