As we wrap up Mental Health Awareness Month, it's crucial to address the mental health crisis in the construction industry. Construction occupations has one of the highest rates of death by suicide and drug overdose in the United States, and these rates are increasing. Construction workers often face long hours and challenging weather conditions to meet deadlines. This demanding environment can lead to more injuries, resulting in opioid prescriptions that can spark addiction. Rising rates of suicides and opioid use among construction workers highlight the urgent need for support and awareness. Let's come together to break the stigma and provide the necessary resources to those who need it most.
