Pinkard Construction, a leading general contractor in Colorado, recently hosted a cornhole tournament for its employees. The goal of the event was to provide a fun activity for the staff and raise awareness about suicide prevention strategies.
According to the company's President, Tony Burke, "We take the well-being of our employees seriously, and we want to ensure that they have access to the resources they need for their mental health. That's why we partnered with Associate General Contractors and YouTurn, an organization that provides suicide prevention training and mental health resources to employees."
AGC of Colorado partnered with Youturn Health to support their members and families in navigating substance use and mental health concerns. AGC found that Youturn Health provides easy access to confidential and private support at any stage of an individual's recovery journey.
Youturn Health is a confidential virtual program that bridges the gap between inaction and seeking clinical help by making support accessible to users grappling with any mental or behavioral health condition, including but not limited to stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, or suicidal ideation, wherever they are in their journey.
Youturn Health provides accessible, end-to-end support for individuals and their families, with tools including peer coaching, resources, and an online learning library.
The event featured a guest speaker from YouTurn who delivered a powerful message about the importance of mental health and suicide prevention. The speaker emphasized the need for individuals to seek help and support when they are struggling with mental health issues.
One employee who participated in the event described it as "a great way to bring awareness to mental health and suicide prevention in a non-judgmental and fun way. It was nice to see the company take an active role in the well-being of its employees."
Pinkard Construction plans to continue its partnership with YouTurn and hopes to host similar events in the future. The company recognizes that mental health is a critical issue that affects many individuals, and it is committed to providing resources and support to its employees.
In the words of Burke, "We want our employees to know that they are not alone, and we are here to help. We hope that our partnership with YouTurn and events like this cornhole tournament will make a positive difference in the lives of our staff."
