Mental Health: Let’s Talk and Act

In the construction industry, where physical safety is always a priority, it's time we shine a light on mental health. Our industry is fast-paced and demanding, and the pressures of deadlines, long hours, and challenging work environments can take a toll on mental well-being. That's why it's so important to foster open conversations and support one another both on and off the job site.

Here’s how you can make a difference:

This movement is supported by the dedicated efforts of Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, in partnership with the Co-op. Together, we can break the silence around mental health, promote awareness, and build a community where everyone feels valued and supported.

Let's work together to create a culture that not only values the physical safety of our workers but also prioritises their mental well-being. Every conversation, every check-in, and every act of kindness moves us closer to a healthier, more resilient construction community.
