Right now, it is Construction Su***de Prevention Week. In an industry dominated by men, the statistics around mental health are numbers we can no longer ignore.The reality? Tradespeople face extreme pressures every day, but asking for help shouldn’t be the hardest part of the job. It’s time to break the silence, smash the stigma, and look out for our mates on site.
This week, we are standing alongside incredible charities like Mates in Mind, Lighthouse Charity, and Band of Builders to say: It is okay to not be okay.If you or a mate are struggling, you are not alone.
