Tough Tower

09/30/2026

September is Su***de Prevention Month, but our mission extends far beyond one month.

The Tough Tower Foundation is working toward a powerful goal: Zero su***des in communications construction.

The people who build and maintain our communications infrastructure face demanding work, time away from home, long hours and pressures that aren’t always visible. Let's continue to support each other, listen, ask for help, and share resources so every communications worker can live a long, fulfilling life.

And remember, help is always available. Call or text 234-45-TOWER (234-458-6937) if you're battling mental health challenges or thoughts of su***de, and share this resource with others in the industry.

Because we are .

You can't recognize a change in someone if you never really knew them in the first place.

That's why su***de prevention isn't only about knowing a list of warning signs. It's also about building relationships.

Know your people.

Talk to them beyond the daily job assignment. Create an environment where someone can say they're struggling without fear of judgement. Pay attention when behavior changes.

The Tough Tower Foundation believes we can build an industry where people look out for one another, from the tower to the office and everywhere in between.

Our mission: Zero su***des in communications construction.

It can be hard to know how to approach someone who may be struggling. Sometimes, a simple question is all it takes to make a difference: “Hey, you haven't seemed like yourself lately. How are you doing?”

Then give them the opportunity to answer.

You don't have to solve their problems. The most important thing you can do is notice, ask, and listen without judgment.

Creating an industry where people feel comfortable having these conversations is an important part of the Tough Tower Foundation's mission of Zero Su***des in Communications Construction.
