WASHINGTON \u2014 CONEXPO-CON\/AGG, the largest construction trade show and conference in North America, is donating $5,000 to the 麻豆传媒高清ion Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention (CIASP).<\/p>\n
Founded by the 麻豆传媒高清ion Financial Management Association (CFMA) in 2016, the CIASP’s mission is to dismantle the stigma attached to mental health within the industry, a release said, and by 2018 it became an independent 501(c)(3) entity with a focus on suicide prevention awareness and providing essential resources.<\/p>\n
“CIASP estimates 10 to 12 construction workers die by suicide every day. From the educational content at our events, to informative articles on our website, and now this contribution, CONEXPO-CON\/AGG is committed to tackling this statistic and supporting our industry,\u201d CONEXPO-CON\/AGG show director Dana Wuesthoff said in the release.<\/p>\n
CONEXPO-CON\/AGG also created a resource hub<\/a> where employers and employees can access resources.<\/p>\n The organization will also focus on mental health content over the next few months via its CONEXPO-CON\/AGG 365 newsletter<\/a>, which will examine topics related to suicide, PTSD and other mental health conditions prevalent in the construction industry.<\/p>\n
