Please join us for our monthly IEC Dallas Safety Roundtable! This month, our meeting will be Promoting:

Suicide Prevention and Awareness

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness, sharing resources, and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.

Every year, millions of Americans experience or are directly affected by the tragedy of suicide.

As of 2022, the rate of suicide has returned to its peak, with over 49,000 people losing their life to suicide that year. That is 1 death by suicide every 11 minutes. Around 13.2 million people have contemplated suicide, with around 1.6 million attempting to end their life. In 2022, men died by suicide 3.85 times more than women. The statistics are alarming. However, they highlight the importance of promoting mental health resources, recovery tools, and ongoing efforts to put a stop to suicide. Preventing suicide is possible, but it takes families, friends, and communities to come together and speak up.

Together we can save lives.

Every year, during September — National Suicide Prevention Month — the construction industry will dedicate a week to raising awareness about the unique challenges workers face in construction that lead to suicide and what we can do to prevent it. Together, we can save lives.

We look forward to sharing information, exchanging ideas, and learning from one another as we continue working together to strengthen safety within our industry.
