September marks Su***de Prevention Month—a vital opportunity for us to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and foster open conversations about mental health.
The construction industry faces a significant challenge, with statistics showing that nearly 18% of all reported workplace suicides occurred in construction in 2021, despite construction workers making up only about 7.4% of the U.S. workforce.
At Matrix, we recognize that caring for one another is just as essential as workplace safety, and mental health plays a crucial role in that commitment. We encourage each of you to take time to reflect on the importance of this month and look out for one another. A simple conversation or a question like "Are you okay?" can make a significant difference in someone's life.
Remember, the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline is accessible 24/7 by calling or texting 988, and you can find additional resources through Matrix C.A.R.E.S. Together, let’s build a workplace where mental health is prioritized, support is normalized, and no one has to face their challenges alone ➡️ https://na2.hubs.ly/H07zbZp0
