September is Suicide Prevention Month

September is Suicide Prevention Month, and the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention (CIASP) is providing a web portal with access to several resources that the construction industry can use to address mental health challenges.

With a suicide rate that is four times greater than the national average, the construction industry is facing a crisis. The sector faces unique challenges, including high stress, demanding work conditions, and a culture that often stigmatizes seeking help. 

CIASP is dedicated to changing the statistics by educating and equipping organizations, industry service providers, and construction professionals to STAND UP for suicide prevention and address it as a health and safety priority.
