Supporting Mates in Mind for Construction Mental Health

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re supporting the Mental Health Foundation to highlight why looking after your mental wellbeing is so important. It is crucial to take care of your mental health, especially if you work within the construction industry as it can challenge you both physically and mentally. The Lighthouse Charity has been supporting the construction community since 1956, standing beside workers, families and employers through life's toughest moments.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week (11th–17th May) — an important reminder that mental health matters in every workplace, especially within construction. As an industry, construction continues to face higher-than-average mental health challenges, but positive change is happening. At Curtis Moore, we recognise the importance of supporting our team both professionally and personally. We have dedicated staff trained in Mental Health Awareness and are proud supporters of the The Lighthouse Charity, which provides vital emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to construction workers and their families. By encouraging open conversations and proactive support, we can all help break the stigma surrounding mental health in construction. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #ConstructionIndustry #MentalHealthMatters #Wellbeing #LighthouseCharity #ConstructionSupport

Mental Health Awareness Week In construction and fit-out, pressure comes with the job - tight deadlines, long hours, problem solving, and keeping projects moving. At Edgar, we know that behind every successful project is a team of people, and mental wellbeing matters just as much as craftsmanship. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is simply check in. A conversation. A listening ear. Asking, “Are you okay?” Small actions make a big difference. This Mental Health Awareness Week, we also want to recognise the fantastic work of Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity, who continue to shine a light on mental health across the industry and encourage people to start the conversation. Because looking after people is just as important as delivering the job.

Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 This week is a reminder that mental health matters—on and off site. At A V V Solutions, we know how important it is to create a supportive environment where people feel able to speak openly and look out for one another. In a demanding industry, even small check-ins can make a big difference. This year’s theme is “Take Action”—a reminder that even small steps can have a real impact. Whether it’s checking in on a colleague, taking time to reset, or encouraging open conversations, every action counts. We also encourage anyone in our industry who may be struggling to reach out and seek support. Organisations such as The Lighthouse Charity provide vital, confidential support to construction workers and their families. We are proud to play our part in promoting a positive culture where wellbeing is prioritised and no one feels they have to struggle in silence. Let’s continue to look out for one another—this week and every week. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #TakeAction #Wellbeing #Construction #AVVSolutions #LighthouseCharity #SupportEachOther

Mental Health Matters at Evers 💙 This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re taking time to highlight something that should matter all year round in the construction industry: mental health. In construction, mental health is just as important as physical safety. Long hours, pressure, and demanding environments can have a real impact on wellbeing, which is why creating a supportive culture matters. At Evers, we continue to invest in Mental Health First Aiders across the business to help support our employees, alongside ongoing mental health awareness training to encourage open conversations and reduce stigma. Mental health and wellbeing are also discussed during every site induction, ensuring the conversation remains open, visible, and part of everyday working life. We also encourage anyone who needs support to reach out to the Lighthouse Charity: Provides a 24/7 Construction Industry Helpline (0345 605 1956) and a free app for support. Looking after our people will always remain a priority, both on and off site. #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MentalHealthAwareness #ConstructionIndustry #MentalHealthMatters #Wellbeing #HealthAndSafety #ConstructionUK #MentalHealthFirstAid #SupportEachOther #Evers

💜 This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re proud to support the The Lighthouse Charity and their message to take action & start the conversation. Construction can be a demanding industry, and while resilience is often seen as part of the job, it’s important to remember that everyone faces challenges both in and outside of work. Recent The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) research found: • 97% of construction professionals have experienced stress • 87% have experienced anxiety • 70% have experienced depression • 26% have experienced suicidal thoughts These figures are a reminder of why creating a culture where people feel comfortable speaking openly and accessing support matters so much. Sometimes, a simple conversation or check-in can make a real difference. Working with The Lighthouse Charity means we can provide our team and their families with access to emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support through their 24/7 Construction Industry Helpline and wide range of resources.
