Reflecting on Construction Su***de Prevention Week 💚
During Construction Su***de Prevention Week, September 14–18, 2026, HopeLine Executive Director Keri Christensen had the opportunity to connect with construction professionals at Durham Technical Community College and the Red Hat Amphitheater construction site to talk about mental health, su***de prevention, and the importance of seeking support.
Special thanks to Sean Reynolds of Athletic Training Solutions for coordinating these events, and to the teams from Skanska at Durham Tech and the CMJV team of Skanska, Clancy & Theys Construction Company, and DA Everett at Red Hat Amphitheater for prioritizing their workforce well-being.
The construction industry is disproportionately affected by su***de, making conversations like these important not only during awareness week, but year-round. By checking in on one another, reducing stigma, and encouraging help-seeking, we can help save lives.
💚 Together, we can build stronger, safer, and more supportive workplaces.
