In the construction industry, we face some of the toughest mental and physical challenges. A key factor contributing to our profession being one of the highest rates of suicide is the impact of alcohol and substance use on our mental health, safety, and overall well-being.? ? This month’s Toolbox Talk sheds light on why it is essential to address alcohol and substance use and how we can recognize the signs, practical ways to look out for each other, discuss effective strategies to break the cycle, and explore healthier ways to cope with stress.

The construction sector shapes our world, but consistently struggles with mental health issues when compared to other industries. This is why campaigns such as 'Get Construction Talking' and their free toolkit are very important. We included the toolkit in our best practices and innovations on the Best Practice Hub, as it provides a practical and helpful guide that construction site staff can use on the ground to improve mental health awareness and foster positive conversations about the subject. Tackling this issue is complex, but one of the simplest things we can all start doing today is talking. Discover more and download the guide from our Best Practice Hub today: https://lnkd.in/dtDbHmTK

The construction industry faces one of the highest rates of suicide, and it’s crucial to remember that mental health matters just as much as physical safety. At UCI, we believe in supporting each other both on and off the job site. If you or someone you know is struggling, don’t stay silent—reach out. Together, we can create a culture where asking for help is a sign of strength. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 988 (call or text)

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day ??? Suicide is a critical public health issue, claiming over 700,000 lives annually. Each loss has profound social, emotional, and economic impacts on individuals and communities. Specifically, within the construction industry, 1 in 5 workers face challenges related to anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns. NECA, along with The Association of Union Constructors , Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) and SMACNA continue to work together to raise mental health awareness and empower the community to create a supportive atmosphere. Together, the four associations created the 988 chips as a reminder that "Your Mental Health Matters" and to share this important message on job sites.
