In construction, toughness is often celebrated, but true strength lies in acknowledging our vulnerabilities and taking steps to prioritize our mental well-being. Let's change the narrative and recognize that seeking support for mental health challenges is a courageous act that benefits us all. Together, we can foster a culture of resilience and support in the construction industry. #StrengthInUnity #HealthyMindHealthyWork

In the construction industry, looking out for your mates is just part of the job. This RUOK? Day, don’t forget to ask, 'Are you okay?' A simple question can make a big difference. RUOK? Day is on Thursday, September 12, but this isn’t just a one-day conversation. We need to look out for each other year-round, and that starts with asking the question and being ready to listen. How you can get involved: - Ask the question: Don’t wait—if you notice a mate or colleague who seems off, ask them if they’re okay. Your support could make a real difference. - Spread the word: Help raise awareness about RUOK? Day. Every action counts. - Promote the course: The Mental Health in Construction course can help make a difference. Build a stronger, more supportive team. Together, we can create a work environment where everyone feels supported. Let’s take the time to ask, listen, and offer help where it’s needed. Join us in supporting mental health by taking action—because checking in could save a life.

🛠️ **World Suicide Prevention Day** 🛠️   Today, we shine a light on a critical issue that often goes unspoken in the construction industry—mental health. Construction workers face immense pressures daily, from tight deadlines to physical and emotional exhaustion. Unfortunately, the construction sector has one of the highest suicide rates, making it vital to break the stigma and support those struggling.    **You are never alone.** 💙 Let's build a foundation of support and understanding for our colleagues. Check in on your team, talk about mental health, and let’s create a safe space where everyone feels heard.   #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #MentalHealthMatters #ConstructionWellness #BreakTheStigma #SupportEachOther #YouAreNotAlone

My heart aches as I share this: the construction industry's suicide rate is nearly four times higher than the general population. This isn't just a statistic—it's a cry for help from our colleagues, friends, and family. I've witnessed the "tough guy" culture's silence struggles for years. But strength isn't about hiding pain—it's about having the courage to reach out. To every construction worker feeling overwhelmed: you're not alone. Your life matters. Let's break this silence together. To industry leaders: we must create spaces where mental health conversations are normalized. It could save a life. Remember, seeking help isn't weak—it's the bravest thing you can do. https://nbcnews.to/3VY9VcL #MentalHealth #ConstructionIndustry #BreakTheStigma #artba #nuca #ftba #dynapac #nationalasphaltpavementassociation #johndeere #ciasp #afsp #constructionangels

⚙️ The construction industry faces one of the highest rates of suicide, with workers being four times more likely to take their own lives than others.

💪 We're building resilience and taking on National Mental Health Month in construction! As we dive into May and Mental Health Awareness Month, we focus in on a crucial aspect of our industry: the safety and mental well-being of our workers. Construction isn't just about bricks and mortar; it's about the people who bring projects to life. Behind every hard hat is a person with their own challenges and triumphs - let's break the stigma and build the foundation for an industry that prioritizes mental health just like we do physical safety.
