AGC effort focuses on mental health, suicide prevention
In an effort to combat suicide in the construction industry, which has one of the highest suicide rates among major industry groups, the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) launched a series of videos that focus on stories of real industry professionals who have struggled with mental health.
“We cannot stand by while a silent epidemic of suicide takes place within our industry,” said AGC CEO Stephen E. Sandherr. “We want to reduce the stigma of mental health issues in this industry, let people know it is okay to ask for help, and ultimately, save lives.”
