The Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention tells us we can take action:
1. Incorporate CIASP ToolBox Talks into your safety plan.
2. Ask your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provider to present sessions or lunch and learns on mental health and coping techniques.
3. Promote the free, anonymous MindWise screening tool (available in Spanish) to your employees.
4. Incorporate these short videos into your safety training.
5. Distribute hardhat stickers, poker chips, and wallet cards with warning signs and helplines. Request a supply from CIASP.
6. Display posters in trailers, break rooms, or on company message boards. 7. Complete the LivingWorks Start online training program.
8. Read and Share: Educate Workers About Employee Assistance Programs to Address Behavioral Health
