IRONHIDE – Building Mental Resiliency for the Toughest Builders

You build the world, but who's building you up? Our skilled workers are facing a silent crisis – and at IRONHIDE, we’re building a community where we can support, grow, and thrive. Join us in our mission – and let’s leave no one behind.

The Blue Collar Silent Crisis

Our nation’s craftsmen are keeping our country moving forward. But when it comes to mental and physical health, far too many are falling behind.

  • Over 5,000 construction workers commit suicide every year

  • Stress, pressure, and isolation are taking a toll on our workforce

  • The toughest jobs shouldn't cost us our toughest workers

Why opt for self-destruction when you could be mastering success?

Why the Rhino?

There’s a reason we chose the Rhino to represent IRONHIDE. Beyond just being a great logo, the rhino symbolizes the innate strength and resilience that sits untapped in everyone. 

Its tough exterior represents our ability to face life's challenges, and its vulnerability reminds us of the importance of addressing our inner struggles. When we see the rhino, we see the potential in everyone.
