DKY Foundation

Construction workers are 5x more likely to commit suicide than the general population. The construction industry faces unique challenges that contribute to elevated rates of suicide. Factors such as high-stress environments, demanding work schedules, extended travel requirements away from existing family/friends/support system, and limited mental health resources exacerbate the issue. The DKY Foundation recognizes the urgency to address these challenges and provide effective interventions to support the well-being of construction workers. Our Mission- The DKY Foundation is committed to preventing suicide in the construction industry by promoting mental health awareness, fostering a supportive environment, and providing resources for workers and their families. Our Vision- We envision a construction industry where every worker feels valued, supported, and equipped with the tools to address mental health challenges, ultimately reducing suicide rates.
