It’s widely known that one in four construction workers contemplate suicide*. And that’s not the only shocking mental health statistic rocking the industry. The suicide rate for construction workers alone is over three times the national average**.
As an employer, we know you care for your people but mental health can often be a difficult topic to address – from the perceived stigma around opening up to not knowing how to spot the signs of a decline in mental health.
To coincide with this year’s Men’s Health Week – and to support the industry in tackling the perceived stigma around mental health – we hosted a special, 60-minute webinar with Citation solicitor Emma McGrath, and special guest Danny Clarke from the National Federation of Builders, on this crucial topic facing the sector.
