Confronting Suicide in Construction

Hard Hat Courage is the construction industry's collective commitment to save lives by making it safe to talk about our mental health—every day, on every jobsite.

The construction industry has one of the highest suicide rates in the U.S. compared to other industries. Addressing risk factors unique to construction through evidence-informed suicide prevention programs and practices can save lives and improve the overall well-being of the workforce.

Our mission is clear: to save lives across the construction industry by prioritizing our colleagues' mental health just as much as their physical safety. Together, we’re equipping construction craft & industry professionals and their companies with the tools to take care of themselves and support each other—because every life matters, and every conversation counts.
