Construction workers are 5x more likely to commit suicide than the general population.
The construction industry faces unique challenges that contribute to elevated rates of suicide. Factors such as
high-stress environments, demanding work schedules, extended travel requirements away from existing family/friends/support system, and limited mental health resources exacerbate the issue.
The DKY Foundation recognizes the urgency to address these challenges and provide effective interventions to support the well-being of construction workers.
Our Mission
The DKY Foundation is committed to preventing suicide in the construction industry by promoting mental health awareness and fostering a supportive environment, by providing online resources, training and education and group mental health benefits.
Our Vision
We envision a construction industry where every worker feels valued, supported, and equipped with the tools to address mental health challenges, ultimately reducing suicide rates.
raise awareness
We provide our members with comprehensive online resources, specialized outreach efforts, dynamic campaigns, dedicated pledges, and educational newsletters. Our goal is to eradicate stigma, enhance engagement, and increase recognition of the risk factors and warning signs linked to suicide.
education and training
We've joined forces with Ivy Tech, Muncie Campus, to provide our members with QPR Training and Mental Health First Aid. This partnership aims to bolster suicide prevention efforts within the construction industry.
Group Mental Health Benefits
We strongly believe in the strength of unity. Our members have access to collective mental health benefits, such as Standalone EAPs and Self-Guided mental health platforms, aimed at fortifying suicide prevention initiatives within the construction industry as a cohesive unit.
