There's still more work to be done when it comes to mental health in our industry, and it can all start with a chat. Whether it's finding a supportive group of people, co-workers, family & friends, or reaching out to an expert - you don't have to do it alone 🤝

Long hours can have a big impact on wellbeing, and with tradespeople known for putting in the time for their graft, it's a big contributor to poor mental health in the industry 🔧

While not always preventable, it's important to set boundaries, limit excessive overtime, and put your health above all else.

There's no Haynes Manual for physical or mental health, but if you work a trade, a well mind and body are your most important tools. So why don't we prioritise them like we should?

Tradespeople are known for working physical jobs and long hours, which can lead to higher risk of heart disease and mental health problems. However, men are statistically far less likely to acknowledge when they're ill or get medical help when it's needed.

With 4 in 5 tradespeople experiencing mental health issues, now's a great time to check in and have a chat with friends, family, and coworkers. Or if you need further support, you can speak to a trained expert at Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity by texting HARDHAT to 85258 🦺
