Abstract

Bechtel and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) have announced a new partnership aimed at preventing suicides in the construction industry. The initiative will reach 500,000 U.S. construction workers over five years through industry-specific programs and resources. The $7 million, five-year commitment from Bechtel to AFSP is the largest-ever pledge received by AFSP and the largest single donation made by the Bechtel Group Foundation. The construction industry has one of the highest suicide rates in the U.S., and this partnership aims to address this crisis by combining Bechtel's industry knowledge with AFSP's expertise in research, education, and prevention strategies.
