Our Building and Construction workers are going through even more uncertainty lately.
EAP for Building and Construction workers
They’ve experienced higher rates of suicide and mental health issues than the rest of the population over the past decade, according to the Blueprint for Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Report 2018-2022, developed by the Australian Building and Construction Industry and Beyond Blue.
It’s often difficult for workers located on-site and working long hours to take time off work to see someone for mental health support. For some, it may even feel like a “weakness” to seek help.
Add to that the increased chance of experiencing or witnessing a critical incident and the associated trauma; it’s important to provide EAP support that you can be certain is accredited, experienced and specialised.
Connect Psych is the perfect partner to support you and your staff.
"When managing mental health risks onsite, it can be useful to think about mental health in the same way as how other hazards are managed onsite; identify the hazard, assess the risk, then control the risk using the hierarchy of controls, and monitor and review the control for effectiveness."
How Connect Psych can help?
By generalising problems into digestible, anonymised data you can address the issues for a stronger more productive workplace that leads to better results.
