National Certificate Series: Mental Health Awareness

National Certificate Series: Mental Health Awareness

NWIBRT is organizing a nationally accredited seminar to educate employers about identification, prevention, and actions they can take to address suicide and other mental health topics throughout the regional construction workforce.

A construction worker is five times more likely to commit suicide than be killed by a workplace accident, according to the CDC. The rates of suicide for men in construction are twice that of other industries.

NWIBRT's Mental Health Awareness Certificate Series will feature Kaitlyn Griffin, SW, CAPRCI from the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, which is a Washington DC-based nonprofit that advocates for mental health expansion and integration. Attendees will be learning about Mental Health First Aid, which teaches how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental health and substance use challenges among adults.

Date and Time:

February 15, 2023, 8AM- 3PM

Speaker:

Carley Samayoa, MPH, BSCJ I Mental Health Awareness Training Coordinator
