IT CAN BE TOUGH TO TALK
The last year has been hard for the construction industry. While many industries closed down, construction carried on throughout large parts of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this has taken its toll.
Keyline has recently commissioned research into the mental health of those working across the construction industry, and the findings are stark.
Keyline has recently commissioned research into the mental health of those working across the construction industry, and the findings are stark.
- 53% of construction workers have struggled with their mental health….but 44% of those have not spoken to anyone about their struggles
- 71% of construction workers would want colleagues to talk to them if they were struggling …but 68% think colleagues are less likely to do so compared to those working in other sectors
- Only 57% of construction workers feel they could support a colleague struggling with their mental health
While it can be tough to talk, it’s OK to ask.
No-one should continue to suffer in silence. As an industry, we can remove the fear factor around mental health by opening up the conversation.
If you think a colleague is struggling with their mental health, the easiest way to offer support is to start the conversation.
Keyline has partnered with the Construction Industry Helpline, which provides 24/7 confidential metal, physical and financial health support for all UK construction workers and their families.
We’d encourage anyone struggling with their mental health to call 0345 605 1956 or visit: www.constructionindustryhelpline.com
We need to look out for each other. We’re in this together.
