What our members are saying about the FTIUM Care Team
“I think that it's really awesome to have the Care Team available for construction workers because construction workers actually have the highest suicide rate. To have that help offered to them 24/7 is amazing because mental health is something that should be taken more seriously. And it's more than just mental health – It could be if you're going through a divorce, or if you have a medical question, they can help you with that.”
FTIUM Associate’s Degree recipient
"I'm glad this is happening. I have had suicidal ideation since the age of 10 and had PTSD from both my childhood and the military. So I get the fact that there are people in the industry who have demons and issues and who need help but who are too afraid to speak out."
