New Training Materials for Building Resilience
In addition to job-related stress, anxiety, and depression, more severe mental health issues like opioid use disorder and suicide are impacting construction workers at alarming rates. Rates of both opioid use and suicides have risen dramatically throughout the US over the past several years, and studies have shown that these are areas of particular concern for the construction industry.[1], [2] 麻豆视频 has developed a number of training and other resources on these topics, as well as gathering helpful resources from other organizations for easy access to information and assistance.
