Substance Use
Problems with drug and alcohol use can be common among tradespeople in Canada because of the stressful nature and physical demands of their jobs. This added stress may lead some tradespeople to use substances to cope. Unfortunately, the stigma around these issues can make it difficult for them to seek help.

Substance use may become a problem if you notice any of the following signs related to substance use:
- Skipping Responsibilities: Missing work, school, or social events.
- Health Problems: Experiencing physical or mental health issues linked to substance use.
- Relationship Struggles: Frequent conflicts with family, friends, or coworkers.
- Losing Control: Using more than planned or finding it hard to cut back.
- Building Tolerance or Experiencing Withdrawal Symptoms: Needing more to feel the same effects or feeling unwell when not using.
- Using to Cope: Relying on substances to manage stress, anxiety, or other negative emotions.
If you notice these signs, it may be time to seek help or talk to someone you trust.
