Behind the Scenes, On the Front Lines: How Human Resources, Safety and Marketing Drive Suicide Prevention Culture

July 9 | 10:30 A.M. CDT

Suicide prevention in construction isn’t just about one department — it’s a cross-functional effort that requires alignment, communication and commitment from every corner of an organization. In this panel discussion, leaders from HR, safety and marketing share how their roles contribute to building a culture of psychological safety, trust and care.

You’ll hear real examples of how:

• Executives/ownership reinforces your organization’s commitment and importance to the culture of care.
• Human resources support employees through policies, benefits and compassionate response protocols.
• Safety teams integrate mental wellness into jobsite safety culture and training.
• Marketing/communication breaks down stigma through storytelling, campaigns and consistent messaging.

This session will offer practical takeaways for how these often “behind-the-scenes” departments can collaborate to create a safer, more supportive environment — because preventing suicide starts with how we talk, listen and lead.
