October 10th is #WorldHomelessnessDay and #WorldMentalHealthDay. Today we recognize two critical global issues - homelessness and mental health, both of which are deeply interconnected.

Suicide is an unfortunate crisis within our industry, and #Curran wants to take part in this change. BY THE NUMBERS: - In multiple years, the CDC found construction and extraction was the no. 1 occupational group with male suicides (15% in 2012, 16% in 2015). - In the general population, suicide occurs in 27 out of every 100,000 people. In construction, the number is closer to 53 suicides per 100,000 workers. Let’s come together to raise awareness and support mental health in the construction industry. Join us and help make a difference.
