Purpose and Reason Why
Mental health challenges affect a significant proportion of the construction workforce, yet many workers feel uncomfortable discussing these issues openly.
Research shows:
- 27% of construction workers feel uncomfortable discussing mental health with their employer.
- Many individuals continue working while struggling with stress, fatigue or anxiety.
- Poor mental health increases the risk of accidents, errors and reduced productivity.
By developing awareness and capability across the workforce, organisations can:
- support employees earlier
- reduce workplace risk
- improve communication and trust
- strengthen safety culture
- improve retention and workforce wellbeing.
This training equips individuals across the organisation with the skills, awareness and confidence to recognise mental health challenges and respond appropriately.
