September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, a critical time dedicated to raising awareness about su***de prevention, supporting those affected, and fostering a culture of mental health and well-being. ;💜💙🎗️
The construction industry faces a severe mental health crisis, with a su***de rate roughly four times higher than the general population. Construction workers account for nearly 18% of all su***de deaths with a reported industry code, even though they make up only about 7.4% of the US workforce. Common stressors are high pressure work environments, tight project deadlines, chronic stress, workplace injuries, chronic pain, mental health challenges, problems at home and a historically macho culture that often discourages workers from discussing their problems or seeking help.
Together we can break the stigma attached to mental health by talking about it! “It’s okay not to be okay.” If you or someone you know is struggling, please use the following resources:
