In yourself or your mates. Spotting the signs early saves lives.
You don't need to be an expert. You just need to care enough to ask.
"You alright, mate?" Simple. Direct. Ask again if the first answer is "fine." Ask "No, really - how are you?"
Don't interrupt. Don't judge. Don't try to fix it straight away. Just listen. Sometimes that's all someone needs.
Point them to the Lighthouse helpline: 0345 605 1956. Offer to call with them if they want support.
Follow up the next day. A text, a call, a coffee on site. Showing you remembered matters more than you think.
A UK charity raising awareness of mental health in construction. They work with employers to create positive mental health cultures on site and in the office.
They provide training, resources, and support to help construction businesses look after their people.
Construction has one of the highest suicide rates of any industry in the UK. That's not a statistic. That's your mates, your colleagues, your family.
Talking about mental health isn't soft. It's the strongest thing you can do. For yourself and for the people around you.
Whatever you're going through - stress, debt, injury, loss, or just feeling overwhelmed - help is there. Free. Confidential. 24/7. No judgement.
