AOE sponsors the American Concrete Pavement Association’s breakfast

AOE is proud to be the lead sponsor of the Mental Health networking breakfast hosted by our client the American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA). The event is being held during the ACPA’s Annual Meeting on Dec. 3, 2025, in Carlsbad, Calif.

Mental health in the construction trades has become a growing concern, with workers often experiencing higher rates of stress, anxiety, depression and suicide compared to other industries. Factors such as long hours, physical strain, and a strong “tough it out” culture can contribute to poor mental health outcomes. Stigma around seeking help remains a significant barrier, though awareness is increasing. Many companies are now implementing mental health programs and peer support initiatives to address the issue.

AOE is a strong advocate for mental health, and the role employers play in creating healthy environments.
