Building Safety On and Off the Job: Construction Suicide Prevention Week
September 11, 2025
This week, members of our safety team visited jobsites across the Kansas City region to discuss a critically important topic: mental health and suicide prevention. Every year during National Suicide Prevention Month in September, one week is designated as Construction Suicide Prevention Week to bring awareness to the higher-than-average number of suicides within the construction industry.
Our teams received valuable information on available resources, how to support friends and colleagues, and where to seek help.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline by chat, call, or text at 988. You are not alone.
