May Is Home Remodeling Month
|
|
During National Home Remodeling Month each May, NAHB Remodelers implements a campaign to celebrate the remodeling industry, recognize the expertise of remodeling professionals and highlight the benefits of hiring a professional remodeler. Remodelers and local councils will find tools and tips to help create a campaign to promote the industry and local members, as well as tips for consumers. The promotional materials include sample social media posts, web banners, press releases, fact sheets and other consumer materials, as well as articles, op-eds, and fact sheets. These materials are easy to customize.

Learn Strategies for Managing Mental Health
|
|
Construction workers are particularly susceptible to mental health issues and suicide – which is a silent killer in the industry. Although the most common mental health problems are anxiety and depression, other disorders such as Substance Misuse can be considered a mental health issue as well. When a worker is struggling to manage mental health issues, their safety and the safety of all those around them on the jobsite can be compromised. As a part of its ongoing initiative regarding members’ mental health and well-being, NAHB recently created a new video “toolbox talk” on mental health. English and Spanish versions of the video, along with a helpful handout, are available on the Mental Health Aware- ness webpage. For more information on opioid misuse, visit the resources on the Opioids in the Home Building Industry page. NAHB is also partnering with the North Carolina HBA (NCHBA) on a pilot program called “Blueprint for Worker Well-Being.” The goal of the program is to develop a strategic plan for mental health promotion and suicide prevention that can be replicated by other HBAs across the country.
