Mental Health

Introduction
​

Mental ill health affects 1:4 people in the UK. The construction industry and allied occupational groups are recognised as a more vulnerable group with an increased incidence of suicide. This is attributed to many factors. Not least that it is male dominated sector; (Men are less likely to share their emotional and mental health needs with others and therefore, less likely to seek help from their GP or other health professionals). Highways operatives often work long hours away from home, often in demanding physical environments, remote from their regular wellbeing outlets and disconnected from family and friend networks.
 
Our vision is to reduce the incidence of work related mental ill health throughout the highways sector. To help create an open culture around mental health through promoting mental health awareness, encouraging positive mental health opportunities, and providing mental health support across the wider industry.
