MCAA is committed to stemming our industry’s high suicide rates by breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health. Over the last year, MCAA partnered with the UA, NECA, SMACNA, and TAUC to distribute over 100k 988 awareness hard hat stickers and chips. At the same time, we built a comprehensive mental health program that includes dozens of toolbox talks and a world-class mental health awareness and suicide prevention video.
Additional stickers and chips are now available directly through the manufacturers of both. MCAA is pleased to say that both manufacturers employ union labor, and the chips and stickers carry the union label.
