Suicide is a leading cause of death in the United States and Canada, and workers in the construction industry are impacted at higher than average rates. With construction having one of the highest rates of suicide among all occupations, we must keep building the movement for change. We must help save lives. 

The Bricklayers' Member Assistance Program (BAC MAP) highlights Suicide Prevention Month with a special focus on Construction Suicide Prevention Week (September 8-12) to break the stigma, encourage early intervention, offer hope, and share critical, life-saving resources. BAC MAP has the following message - one that all of our brothers and sisters must hear: you matter, your mental health matters, and help is available. While the reasons behind suicide are not simple, our message could not be clearer or more straightforward: your story isn't over. 

For 24/7 suicide or crisis intervention for yourself or someone you're worried about, call or text 988.
