AMECO Stands Strong for Construction Suicide Prevention Week

We believe in the strength and resilience of the construction industry. We build structures that stand the test of time, but more importantly, we build a community that supports its members. That’s why we’re proud to stand with our fellow builders during Construction Suicide Prevention Week, held annually in September.

Why We Need to Talk About Suicide

Construction workers have a higher-than-average rate of suicide. It’s a harsh reality, but one we need to address head-on. The pressures of the job, the physical demands, and the transient nature of construction work can all contribute to mental health challenges.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

Fortunately, suicide is preventable. By raising awareness and providing resources, we can help our colleagues navigate tough times and build a culture of support.

Join the Movement

There’s power in numbers. Even small actions can make a big difference. Here’s how you can get involved:

• Visit the Construction Suicide Prevention Week website: Learn more about the initiative and find valuable resources.

• Start a conversation: Talk to your colleagues about mental health and let them know you’re there for them.

Remember, you’re not alone. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier construction industry.
