Forums

The Mental Health & Suicide Prevention Task Force hosts at least four (4) discussion forums each year. The goal of these forums is to provide a safe space where construction industry stakeholders can gather to share success stories, challenges, and seek/share resources and best practices.

Below you will find the dates/times for upcoming forums. To be added to the distribution list and receive invitations, please sign-up HERE. To find out if you are already registered, please email Nazia Shah at nazia.shah@agc.org.
