Supporting others Many of us go through tough times and when this becomes overwhelming, we may need some extra support. Checking in with someone to ask if they need help could make a difference. Choose your words carefully - avoid using platitudes like ‘cheer up’ or ‘it’ll pass’ and try to listen non-judgementally. Someone experiencing a mental health problem often knows what is most helpful for them. Access industry support The Lighthouse Club Construction Industry charity is dedicated to supporting the emotional, physical and financial wellbeing of all construction workers and their families.
