May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and AGC of Alaska is proud to partner with the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention - Alaska Chapter for Talk Saves Lives: Construction — a program built specifically for construction professionals and front-line supervisors.

This industry asks a lot of people. Long hours, stress, pressure, isolation — it adds up. This conversation is designed to help our industry better recognize when someone may be struggling and give people the tools to step in, start a conversation, and support one another.
