An estimated 1 in 5 adults live with a mental illness yet less than half seek treatment. And the construction industry has the second-highest suicide rate of all major industries.
NRCA’s new video, “Be Tough Enough,” raises awareness regarding mental health and suicide prevention in the roofing industry and encourages roofing professionals to seek help when they are struggling. View the video.
NRCA now also owns BeToughEnough.org, which links directly to NRCA’s Mental Health webpage.
NRCA is committed to improving mental health awareness in the industry. Its Mental Health webpage offers a range of resources to enhance your company’s efforts to raise awareness, provide help, and give support to mental health and suicide prevention in the roofing industry.
