Suicide is still one of the leading causes of death for men under 35. For those working in construction, the risk is even higher.
- Long hours
- Tight deadlines
- Job insecurity
- Time away from loved ones
These pressures take a real toll – and in an industry where many feel they have to “just get on with it,” opening up about mental health isn’t always easy.
On World Suicide Prevention Day, Lighthouse Charity is shining a light on the mental health crisis affecting our industry and encouraging everyone in construction to speak up, check in, and make it easier to ask for help.
