Today, 12 construction workers in America will take their own lives. In fact, the industry accounts for nearly 13% of all deaths by su***de each year. But we can all do our part to stop this, together.
It’s not always easy to talk about mental health, but having open discussions can break through the stigma of the subject and lead those in pain to open up and receive help. Throughout the month, we’ll share resources about mental health in the construction industry, including warning signs to look for and ways we can support one another. Supervisors will also be providing additional information.
This week, we challenge you to check in with one coworker. Ask how they’re doing, take the time to listen, and remind them that they don’t have to face a difficult time alone.
