National Mental Illness Awareness Week
Today marks the beginning of National Mental Illness Awareness Week and our MLBF team is dedicated to raising awareness of mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, and breaking down the stigma that still surrounds this topic.
As Laborers, we know that mental health is just as important as physical health. Some 83% of construction workers deal with mental illness in their lifetime, and MLBF is here to support our members and their families who may face this challenge.
To learn more about our mental health programs, including support for addiction recovery, telehealth services, and general mental wellness, head to our website: https://www.mlbf.org/health-welfare/. Or just call our Laborers’ Support Network at 800-522-6763.
