May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the Columbus/Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council wants to have an honest conversation with our affiliated members.

Working in construction is tough. The physical demands are real, but so are the mental and emotional ones. Stress, isolation, financial pressure and the physical demands of the job can take a toll that doesn't always show on the outside.

We want every affiliated member to know your mental health matters just as much as your hard hat. There is no shame in struggling, and there is strength in reaching out.

Check in on your crew. Talk to someone you trust. If you need support, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de and Crisis Lifeline — free, confidential and available 24/7.
