Mental Health Within Construction eLearning Course

Overview

Have you ever wondered why you handle pressure well some days and snap over nothing on others? You're not alone. Mental health challenges are common, with recent research showing that 94% of construction professionals experience stress, 83% face anxiety, and 60% deal with depression.

This course explores the unique pressures construction workers face while offering actionable strategies for maintaining mental wellbeing on and off site. Featuring video content from mental health expert Andy Bishop, it covers recognising early warning signs in yourself and colleagues, having supportive conversations, and accessing help when needed — equipping you to protect your own wellbeing and support your crew.

• Identify the affects the construction sector can have on mental health
• Recognise early warning signs of mental health struggles
