💜🧠 Today is World Mental Health Day 🧠💜   This year the theme is ‘Prioritising Mental Health in the Workplace’. Mental health continues to be a major concern for our industry with construction workers nearly four times more likely to die by suicide and issues including depression and anxiety estimated to cost the UK around £2.1 billion each year. 💚 At Aptus the diversity of skills and the varying demands placed on our workforce are key considerations in our mental health support strategies. This includes our commitment to making mental health awareness training and #mentalhealth first aid training available to all our colleagues – we’re proud to have 40 of our team successfully complete their training with MHFA England® so far. 💚 Our Health & Wellbeing Campaign is another avenue through which we offer practical tools and resources to help people maintain their mental wellbeing. We also know the importance of connection and events including our annual family fun day and Christmas party are another way we can bring people together and reinforce relationships that can be beneficial for wellbeing. 💚 One of the most important steps we can all take on #WMHD2024 is to talk about mental health and collectively work to remove the stigma which prevents people from discussing their problems. 💭 In our post we look at more of the ways Aptus supports mental health in the workplace, which includes links to support groups and charitable organisations like The Lighthouse Charity, #ANDYSMANCLUB and the Mental Health Foundation - who are all there to help anyone in need.
