"This Mental Health Awareness Week, we're spotlighting Tom Chandler, our Site Manager and one of our Mental Health First Aiders, who not only ensures physical safety but also champions mental well-being for our team, making our sites a supportive space for open discussions. “While we consistently prioritise physical safety on our sites, as a Mental Health First Aider, I highlight the importance of taking care of our mental wellbeing. As a mental health first aider, I’m trained to notice the less visible signs of distress among our team. Whether it’s a change in behavior, a drop in productivity, or reluctance to engage, these can be indicators that someone needs support. It’s important to ensure that everyone feels secure enough to share their concerns and seek help without hesitation. Mental health first aid is vital - it’s about being present, listening, and signposting people towards the right resources. Just as we maintain our site safety, we must also offer mental health support, maintaining both the physical and psychological safety of our workplace." #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MentalHealthFirstAider #Team

This week serves as a reminder to prioritise self-care, seek support when needed, and break down stigmas surrounding mental health. Taking care of our mental health is not just important, it's vital. Every step we take towards understanding and compassion matters. Let's create a culture where it's okay not to be okay, where seeking help is encouraged and where we support one another with empathy and kindness. ❤️ #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #BreakTheStigma #SelfCare

Health and safety guidelines and first aid have always been visible in workplaces, ensuring that you and your staff are working in a safe (and legal) environment. But what about mental health first aid? Poor mental health accounts for more than half of all work-related illnesses. With around 51% of long-term sick leave being due to stress, depression, or anxiety, it has never been more important to ensure that you have the right people and processes in place to support your employees.
