Promote 988 on the Jobsite

Mental health is an important part of jobsite safety. By sharing clear, visible messaging, you can help ensure workers know that support is available. These stickers can be printed by a vendor of your choice and distributed across jobsites to promote awareness of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Posters are also available to print and display in high traffic areas to reinforce this message.
