Mental Health Awareness Week – 10k Steps Challenge
This year, our team took part in a 5-day 10K steps challenge to promote positive mental wellbeing and support Mental Health Awareness week.
Several studies into mental health have identified the construction industry with one of the highest rates of mental health illnesses, with males in construction three times more likely to commit suicide than the national average.
Potential causes include long working hours, low pay, increased time away from the family and macho culture. Supporting, raising awareness, and taking part in Mental Health week, can help make a difference to those in our industry.
