IT’S OKAY TO TALK

Sometimes life or work gets more challenging than we can handle. We are committed to keeping everyone safe on and off the job. Not sure where to start getting help? Here are three sets of people you can talk to.

  • A trusted coworker or manager.
  • A LIUNA steward, agent, staff, or leader. Many are trained in QPR and know how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. (What is QPR?)
  • A professional counselor, a health provider at a Laborers Health & Wellness Clinic, or your primary doctor.

Common Warning Signs of Mental Health

Every mental health condition presents with its own distinct set of symptoms, although it is not uncommon for symptoms to intersect. Here are some commonly observed signs and symptoms that may indicate a mental health condition:
Feeling very sad or withdrawn for more than two weeks
Thoughts of suicide or self harm
Sudden overwhelming fear for no reason, sometimes with a racing heart, physical discomfort or difficulty breathing
Significant weight loss or gain
Excessive use of alcohol or drugs
Drastic changes in mood, behavior, personality or sleeping habits
