Mental Health in Construction Training

Share:                 

Our Mental Health in Construction training course aims to break the stigma surrounding mental ill-health in the Construction sector.

This course raises awareness of mental illnesses, it provides tools that improve wellbeing, and it encourages you to talk about your mental health and ask for help when you need it!

Poor mental health accounts for over 200 suicides a year in the construction industry. This course aims to raise awareness of ill-mental health and offers guidance for daily wellbeing-management. Happy staff equal healthier, more productive and more successful staff.

This course is split into four sections.

1. Mental Health in Construction

Construction workers are prone to stress, anxiety and depression for a number of reasons to include, heavy workloads, tight deadlines, restrictive budgeting costs, long working hours, always thinking about physical safety while carrying out high-risk tasks, lack of routine, frequent travelling, being separated from family and working in isolation.

As construction workers are also contract-based, anxiety can be triggered by a lack of job security or a steady wage.

Construction is also known for its “macho culture”, which means - as a predominantly male industry - construction workers can feel pressured to ‘suck it up’ and get on with things, even if they are really struggling mentally or emotionally.

All of these factors are responsible for over 400,000 lost working days each year in the UK. It is estimated that poor mental health costs UK businesses between 33-42 billion pounds a year!

Mental Health Awareness training is a perfect first step towards managing and improving mental health and wellbeing.

This first section covers mental health in construction to include the importance of mental health training, common triggers for poor mental health, changing the workplace culture and thought patterns.

2. Mental Health Problems

In this section the course raises awareness of common mental health problems,
particularly anxiety and depression but the course also looks at how stress and loneliness can have a big influence on your mental health.

If you’re interested in learning more, this section has extra information on a small number of the other common mental illnesses.

3. Wellbeing toolkit

This section is your Wellbeing Toolkit that can help you look after your mental health on a daily basis.

We appreciate that everyone has their own ideas about how to approach their mental health and wellbeing, so this section has a variety of insights, mini exercises,
recommendations and some food for thought so you can use what suits you.

4. External Help

This section gives you access to our PDF that has been created to explore the many different options that are available to help you improve your mental health and wellbeing. It contains useful websites that provide a lot of information on mental wellbeing and how to manage and improve mental health.

It lists the different types of counselling and therapies that are out there and how to get started.

It suggests books, magazines, YouTube videos and Ted Talks that you can take a look at to learn more about the mind and get support.

It lists various apps that you can use on your smartphone to help you relax - particularly meditation and breathing exercises.

And it includes important phone numbers and emergency helplines.

Conclusion

The goal of this course is to create a space where mental health can be treated for exactly what it is - an important and normal part of our everyday lives. Now you’ve completed this course, we hope that you feel more comfortable talking about mental health and asking for help if you need it.

By recognising the quality of your thoughts and looking at how you behave in your working and personal life, you can begin to notice patterns and start to make small changes that will help to improve your everyday mental and physical health - never forget that the two are connected.

The course concludes with a test to ensure that you have understood the content.
