Summer Certificate Series: Mental Health Awareness

We’re taking action to reduce construction suicide. Following a recent awareness survey about suicide in the construction industry, NWIBRT is organizing a nationally accredited seminar to educate employers about identification, prevention, and actions they can take to address suicide and other mental health topics throughout the regional construction workforce.

A construction worker is five times more likely to commit suicide than be killed by a workplace accident, according to the CDC. The rates of suicide for men in construction are twice that of other industries.

NWIBRT’s Mental Health Awareness Summer Certificate Series will feature Kaitlyn Griffin, SW, CAPRCI from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, which is a Washington DC-based nonprofit that advocates for mental health expansion and integration. Attendees will be learning about Mental Health First Aid, which teaches how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among adults.

Date and Time:

• May 24th, 2022, 8AM- 3PM

Speaker:

• Kaitlyn Griffin I BSW, CAPRC I Mental Health Awareness Training Coordinator
