Thank you for helping raise mental health awareness!

A huge thanks to the CSM Group and the workers on the Kalamazoo Country Club for joining us at our ***dePrevention event. 💪

In 2022, 175 Michigan construction workers took their own lives—at a rate 12 times greater than those killed in accidents. These aren't just numbers; every life mattered, and the impact is felt by families, co-workers, and communities.💔

We all play a role in ***dePrevention. By offering support and starting conversations, we provide hope to those who need it most.
