4th Annual
Construction Working Minds Summit

Past Summits

Welcome…

Construction Working Minds was established to increase industry awareness, provide valuable resources and create a network that seeks to let people know:

• Suicide affects everyone and we have a shared responsibility to prevent it.

• It is courageous to reach out, suicide is preventable.

• You (an individual in crisis, a supervisor, a workplace) are not alone – lots of resources exist to help you through a suicide crisis.

Our website has been designed to inspire hope and provide a collaboration portal that offers practical tools that are easily understood.  We value the science and the stories of suicide prevention and combine both to guide us in providing positive and impactful resources.
