🌄 Introducing our first Construction Hike for Hope 🦺💛

We’re launching the Construction Hike for Hope in Massachusetts to raise awareness around mental health and su***de prevention in the construction industry.

Construction workers face unique pressures and disproportionately high su***de rates. This hike is about breaking the stigma, supporting one another, and standing together as a community.

More than a hike, it’s a call to action.
Let’s take steps toward hope. 💛🏗️
