About this course
You may be wondering why we've created a Mental Health course specifically for the construction industry. Well, put simply, poor mental health in the construction industry accounts for over 200 suicides per year and this is simply not good enough.
The sad and often unspoken truth of it is that construction workers are prone to stress, anxiety and depression for a number of different reasons and these factors are responsible for over 400,000 lost working days each year in the UK.
As a predominantly male industry, there is a 'macho culture' attached to construction sites and workplaces, and this often puts pressure on workers to 'suck it up' and get on with things, even if they are really struggling with a mental health issue.
Our Mental Health in Construction course is split into 4 easy-to-follow and engaging sections which aim to educate learners on the various types of mental health problems, the science behind our thinking and where to go to for external help. The course also puts a strong emphasis on breaking the stigma surrounding mental ill-health throughout.

Business benefits
Poor mental health in the construction industry accounts for over 400,000 lost working days and, sadly, over 200 suicides every year.
It’s an unspoken fact that a combination of strenuous work, a predominantly male workforce, and a “macho culture” mixes in the construction industry to make an atmosphere hostile to the sharing of one’s feelings. Our Mental Health Awareness in Construction course is specifically designed to shine a light on this problem, breaking the stigma, and helping construction workers open up about their mental health; in turn, reducing the number of lost working days and, hopefully, saving lives.
