CAGC is proud to announce and offer a new program, Youturn Health,  that provides resources to help employees and their family members struggling with mental health, stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, addiction, and suicidal ideation. 

Youturn Health is a virtual platform that bridges the gap between inaction and getting help by making support accessible to people who might not otherwise seek it. From workers on a job site up through management. Youturn Health provides confidential access to their virtual support program with educational videos and trainings and individual and family Peer Support Specialists who are paired with participants based on shared lived experiences. 

Construction Industry Continues to Have High Rates of Suicide and Opioid Overdoses 
Recent studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have found high rates of adults struggling with mental health or substance use and many seriously considering suicide. The construction industry has the highest rate of suicide at 53.2 per 100,000 U.S. workers. That rate is four times greater than the national average and five times greater than that of all other construction fatalities combined. Additionally, Construction workers represent about 25% of fatal opioid overdoses among all workers.
