Every year UEA supports and recognises both R U OK? Day and MIC Fly the Flag Day! Our team is proud to be flying the flag, demonstrating our strong support for MATES in Construction and our commitment to mental health in the workplace. Mates in Construction uses this day to raise awareness about mental health, su***de prevention and the power of simply checking in with the people around us.
Fly the Flag Day is an important reminder that looking after our mates is just as critical as every other part of workplace safety. We’re proud to have one ASIST-trained team member, numerous Connectors and many other team members who have completed MIC General Awareness Training. With this shared knowledge and experience, our team is better prepared to recognise when someone might be doing it tough and offer support - often by starting with a simple but powerful question: “R U OK?”
