Construction

In 2018, the construction industry ranked number one in suicide deaths, as well as in the overall suicide rate, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In response, the Action Alliance Workplace Task Force created a construction subcommittee, which became a partner of the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention (CIASP). Formed in 2016, the goal of the CIASP is to provide and disseminate information and resources for suicide prevention and mental health promotion in the construction industry. Together, with over 60 other partners, the Action Alliance worked to reduce suicide within the construction industry and create a more caring and protective work culture.
