Mates in Construction

The MATES in Construction program is based on the simple idea that “suicide is everyone’s business” and that if the building and construction industry in Australia is to improve the mental health and wellbeing of workers and to reduce suicide then it cannot be left to the mental health professionals, but rather everyone in the industry must play their part.

MATES in Construction delivers a number of training programs on-site which aim to; raise awareness about suicide in the workplace, make it easy to access help and ensure that the help offered is practical, professional and appropriate.
