Rebuilding Lives in Construction | Alex Kalliris

Alex Kalliris is a clinical psychotherapist and Program Director at Foundation House, a residential rehab service in New South Wales supporting men from the construction industry to take back control from alcohol, drugs and gambling.

He’s spent the past eight years working with men at rock bottom — helping them break destructive cycles, rebuild trust and rediscover meaning.

In this episode, we talk about mental health in construction, how substance use spirals out of control, and what recovery really looks like. We unpack who rehab is for, how it works, and why change is always possible — no matter how far gone things seem.
