Did you know that the construction industry has the second highest suicide rate in the US? According to a July report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the suicide rate for construction workers is the second highest of all industries.

Think of it as CPR for mental health. The "gatekeeper" training will give participants the skills and tools they need to be able to discern when someone is struggling with thoughts of self-harm, as well as how to effectively respond to an outcry.
