NRCA debuts video to raise mental health awareness

"Substance abuse and suicide claim more roofing lives than job site accidents. We lose more to silence than to falls."

The National Roofing Contractors Association has debuted a video encouraging roofing professionals to seek help when they are struggling with mental health. The video, “Be Tough Enough,” raises awareness regarding mental health and suicide prevention in the roofing industry. NRCA now also owns betoughenough.org, which links directly to NRCA’s mental health webpage. 

NRCA is committed to improving mental health awareness in the industry. Its mental health webpage offers a range of resources to enhance companies’ efforts to raise awareness, provide help and give support to mental health and suicide prevention in the roofing industry. 

Resources include free hard hat stickers, a suicide prevention fact sheet, a toolbox talk, a break room poster, educational programs and links to additional resources that can help employers support the mental health and well-being of their employees.
