"Mental health is a state of wellbeing in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to his or her community" – #WorldMentalHealthDay2018 #lcecwbmh

One of our in #ukconstruction will experience a mental health condition each year – construction is second only to agriculture and ten times more die from suicide than workplace accidents #lcecwbmh #WorldMentalHealthDay2018

A large proportion of #ukconstruction workers are men under 45 and they are the most likely group to suffer from poor mental health #WorldMentalHealthDay2018 #lcecwbmh
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 9, 2018
41% of @MaceGroup employees said they would not reveal a #mentalhealth issue at work. This is one thing that motivates Mace's work in this area #WorldMentalHealthDay2018 #lcecwbmh

'The culture of #wellbeing is set the moment you walk onto site, its how you are greeted, inducted and the conversations you have with people' Dr Judith Grant #lcecwbmh #WorldMentalHealthDay2018

'When a person isn't coping, they really need colleagues to reach out &have the conversation. Don't feel awkward reaching out to someone if they give the brush off the first time… the worst that can happen is they think you are a nice person' #WorldMentalHealthDay2018 #lcecwbmh

'Make sure you do what you say you are going to do, because it is important that people know they have been heard' #WorldMentalHealthDay2018 #lcecwbmh
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 9, 2018
Sadly there is still a lot of stigma about #mentalhealth. By reaching out to someone you can do a lot to reduce that stigma, and even perhaps save a life. #WorldMentalHealthDay2018 #lcecwbmh

Shout out for the #buildingmentalhealth initiative with @CITB_UK to train up mental health advocates across #ukconstruction #lcecwbmh #WorldMentalHealthDay2018 https://t.co/n3KiGvDaOS
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 9, 2018
For a lot of #UKConstruction SME's investing in training and support for #mentalhealth is a challenge. #buildingmentalhealth aims to help with this #lcecwbmh https://t.co/n3KiGvDaOS

Drink sensibly
Keep in touch with people
Ask for help
Take a break
Do something you're good at
Accept who you are
Care for others.#WorldMentalHealthDay2018 #lcecwbmh— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 9, 2018
Judith stresses the link between general health issues and mental health – it is best to look at health issues on site holistically.
#lcecwbmh— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 9, 2018
Why does #UKConstruction suffer so badly from suicide? Judith points out the workforces are transient – NB finishing trades are the highest in terms of suicide, lack of secure labour, working away from home, financial pressures #lcecwbmh
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 9, 2018
Judith says that @MaceGroup has over 100 #wellbeing ambassadors (as well as staff with wellbeing in their job description) #lcecwbmh
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 9, 2018
There are two suicides a day in #ukconstruction #lcecwbmh #WorldMentalHealthDay2018
— Su Butcher 💚 (@SuButcher) October 9, 2018
You can't just put in #mentalhealth training, you need to look at the design and culture of work because if the system produces poor mental health outcomes any amount of training won't help #lcecwbmh
