In a strong stance for mental health, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters today marks World Suicide Prevention Day, aligning it with their recognition of September as National Suicide Prevention Month.

The union, through its Human Rights and Diversity Commission and the Education Department, is firmly committed to equipping its members and their families with essential resources for addressing mental health challenges and preventing suicide.

Highlighting the importance of mental health awareness, the Teamsters are actively working to dispel the stigma associated with these issues. If immediate support is needed, individuals are encouraged to call 988 to speak with a professional via the National Suicide and Crisis Hotline.
