How can we better support the mental health of construction workers?

Construction is a demanding industry with long hours, stressful deadlines, and hazardous working conditions that takes a toll on workers not only physically but also mentally over time. While some larger companies have started implementing wellness programs, many construction professionals still struggle in isolation without access to resources. Gianluca Pascale has important insights about supporting mental health in the construction industry. By normalising discussions around mental health and reducing stigma, peer support networks that bring people together can help address feelings of loneliness and burnout. By creating a culture where it's acceptable to prioritise self-care, you can help retain talented workers and create a more sustainable industry for the future.
