Suicide remains a serious concern for the construction industry, where demanding work, long hours, jobsite stress, loneliness and a culture of toughness can create significant mental health challenges.
As Sept. 14-18 marks Construction Suicide Prevention Week, this episode of Watch FCP examines what contractors and construction leaders can do to make mental health and suicide prevention a more consistent part of jobsite safety.
We sit down with Stephanie Lemek, founder and CEO of The Wounded Workforce and a member of the Construction Suicide Prevention Week Steering Committee, to talk about recognizing warning signs, starting conversations and creating a culture where asking for help is seen as a strength.
Be sure to take the Construction Suicide Prevention Awareness Week pledge if you want to help break the stigma.
