MCAA is committed to stemming the industry’s high suicide rates by breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health. Over the last year, the organization partnered with the UA, NECA, SMACNA, and TAUC to distribute more than 100,000 988 awareness hard hat stickers and chips. At the same time, MCAA built a comprehensive mental health program that includes dozens of toolbox talks and a world-class mental health awareness and suicide prevention video.

Additional stickers and chips are now available directly through the manufacturers of both. MCAA notes that both manufacturers employ union labor, and the chips and stickers carry the union label.

MCAA remains committed to supporting members’ mental health by spreading the word that “it’s okay to not be okay.” Resources like these will help the industry step up and change the culture of not speaking up when someone has a problem. Not all injuries are visible. Not all trauma is evident. Mental health matters.

Those with questions may contact Raffi Elchemmas, MCAA’s executive director of safety, health, and risk management.
