Mental Health: Awareness and Support in Construction – Training Course

Mental Health: Awareness and Support in Construction is a practical training program designed to help construction professionals recognize mental health challenges, support their coworkers, and build a safer, more supportive jobsite culture.

Construction work comes with unique pressures—tight deadlines, long hours, physically demanding tasks, and job uncertainty. These factors can contribute to stress, burnout, anxiety, and other mental health challenges that often go unspoken. This course helps break that silence by providing clear, actionable guidance on recognizing warning signs and taking steps to support yourself and others.

Participants will learn how to identify signs of mental health distress, communicate effectively with coworkers, and connect individuals with appropriate resources. The training also emphasizes the importance of reducing stigma and creating a jobsite culture where mental health is treated as a critical component of overall safety.

By focusing on awareness, communication, and support, this course helps organizations improve wellbeing, strengthen teamwork, and promote a safer work environment.

Training Objectives

• Understand the unique mental health stressors in construction environments
• Identify common signs of mental health distress in coworkers
