Mental health support, peer specialists, and recovery resources — designed for New Mexico construction workers, by people who know the job.
Construction workers face the second-highest suicide rate of any industry. One thousand die from workplace accidents each year — five thousand die by suicide. You are sixteen times more likely to die by suicide or overdose than from a fall, an electrocution, or any jobsite hazard.
The NM Building Trades Wellness Coalition was built to change that. We are the third coalition of our kind in the nation — bringing every trade together around mental health, peer support, and recovery. No silos. No stigma. Just workers looking out for each other.
You don't have to have it figured out. You don't have to know what to say. Just call or text. The Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is free, confidential, and available around the clock.
The NM Building Trades Wellness Coalition brings together every local union in the state. Because our workers share the same job sites, the same hazards, and the same struggles.
Every building trades local has an Employee Assistance Program — free, confidential counseling and referral services paid for by your benefits. Find yours below and make the call.
