Today we pause to recognize World Mental Health Day and the importance of supporting mental well-being in our workplaces and communities. In construction, mental health matters just as much as physical safety. Creating a culture where people feel supported, heard, and encouraged to ask for help makes our jobsites stronger and our industry better for everyone.

Letโ€™s continue to look out for one another and prioritize mental health every day. For more resources on how ABC supports this, visit: https://www.abc.org/Health-Safety-Alliance/Total-Human-Health
