Mental Health & Suicide Awareness Resources
Here’s a startling fact: for every construction worker who passes away from a work incident on the jobsite, five pass away from suicide. It’s crucial we shift our focus and invest in mental health education. Let's make a positive impact together.
Check out SWR Institute’s NEW Mental Health Awareness Toolbox Talk is designed to help your team recognize potential warning signs, start meaningful conversations, and encourage coworkers to seek help when something doesn’t seem right.
