In response to the staggering rate of suicide deaths among construction industry workers, Lines for Life, a regional non-profit dedicated to substance abuse and suicide prevention, partnered with the construction industry to form the Construction Suicide Prevention Partnership (CSPP).
The CSPP represents large and small construction companies, subcontractors, building trades, unions, safety specialists, OSHA, SAIF Corporation, and healthcare partners. They strive for a job-site culture where mental health conversations are as routine as safety updates and the morning stretch and flex.
CSPP offers a monthly Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) training, tailored specifically for the construction industry. This training addresses the risk factors, behavioral clues, and warning signs around suicide. They discuss how to ask if someone is thinking about suicide and how to refer them to care.
