2023 Construction Suicide Prevention Week, Sept 4-8

Community & Sustainability
Written By Abbie Duggan

Lucas Commercial Flooring is proud to sponsor Construction Suicide Prevention Week again in 2023. 

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, and Construction Suicide Prevention Week has dedicated September 4-8, 2023 to providing online resources and job site talks to focus on suicide prevention specifically the construction industry. Construction workers face unique challenges every day, which lead to a higher-than-average rate of suicides. Construction Suicide Prevention Week is working to provide resources, so we can work together to prevent it. ​

Although the highlight of the event is in September, the Webinar Series for 2023 will begin Thursday, August 10th, with weekly installments leading up to Prevention Week. Topics include: 

  • 3 Ways to Support Mental Health in the Construction Industry

  • How to Start (and Continue!) A Conversation about Mental Health: Talk Saves Lives

  • The Impact of Suicide in Construction: Sharing Stories of Hope and Healing

  • Risk Factors to Know and Support Employers can Provide to Mitigate Them

We will be streaming these webinars in our showroom weekly at 10:30 CDT at 9804 E 36th St S, Independence, MO 64052. If you would like to join us to watch the webinars and discuss points live with other business owners, please. We will have light snacks and drinks, as well as Construction Hotline wristbands, stickers, and magnets to share with attendees for their employees.
