This Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country, many of whom are an essential part of the construction industry. Like construction workers, veterans are at a higher risk of suicide than the general population. Factors like PTSD, difficulty reintegrating into civilian life, and pain from active duty injuries can all contribute to this heightened risk. It's crucial that we stand ready to support veterans who may be struggling with their mental health. One of the best ways to do this is by being informed and prepared to help. Here are valuable resources to help veterans succeed in the workplace and beyond: •Take a course and become empowered to play a pivotal role in suicide prevention: VA SAVE Course (https://lnkd.in/ekBET4ip) •Veteran Employment Resources: Veteran Employment Resources (https://lnkd.in/gabzNtn4) •Veterans Affairs Mental Health Services: VA Mental Health Services (https://lnkd.in/entN6RD Let’s come together to create a safer, more supportive environment for veterans in the construction industry. 💛 #differencemaker #ZeroSuicideIndustry #ConstructionCommunity #MentalHealthMatters #CIASP #STOPSuicide #veteransday #thankyou #america
