Last week, we held a stand-down briefing on Stress Awareness at our Boathouse 6 site as part of Stress Awareness Month 2026, supporting this year’s theme: “Be the Change.”
In construction, we place a strong focus on physical safety but it’s just as important to look out for each other’s mental wellbeing. The session explored what stress is, how it can impact us, and how to recognise when someone may not be themselves. Most importantly, we focused on simple actions, like asking “You alright?” and how taking the time to listen can make a real difference.
A big thank you to everyone who engaged so openly, these conversations really do matter. Let’s continue to Be the Change by looking out for one another and if you need further support, please reach out to The Lighthouse Charity and Mates in Mind.
