Mental health is health. When we treat it like any other health challenge, we help break the stigma and make it easier for people to seek the support they need.

The Wellness Playbook, developed by SUHBA’s Wellness Committee, offers practical tips, tools, and resources for those who may be struggling.

Our community has tragically lost valued and loved members to mental health challenges. The construction industry has one of the highest su***de rates of any industry in the United States. Through this Playbook, we hope to encourage meaningful conversations, foster greater understanding, and remind people to check in with their coworkers, friends, and team members more often.

We will be printing more copies in the coming weeks and mailing out to all SUHBA members. Thank you to Scott Carlson (Utah Safe Company) and Robert Jensen (RJ Law) for the passion and dedication to this project. We appreciate them for speaking at our member luncheon today — it was an impactful event.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Member Orientation hosted at Newby Buick! Members enjoyed catering courtesy of Newby Buick GMC and Chris Pallas before hearing from SUHBA Board Members about the value of membership and the many ways to get involved.

Attendees then broke into smaller groups to ask questions, connect with fellow members, and learn more about the opportunities available through SUHBA. We’re excited to welcome our newest members and look forward to seeing you at future events!

Men working in construction often face elevated risks for mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse — often driven by stigma, job insecurity, and demanding work conditions.

One of our Board of Directors’ goals this year is to develop meaningful mental health resources for our industry. The Safe Pillar Class Series will provide insight, guidance, and practical tools to help individuals and organizations build stronger mental wellness programs — both in the workplace and in everyday life.
