This week it’s Mental Health Awareness Week with the theme of ‘community’
We recognise that working in industries such as ours can be rewarding but high pressured, particularly if you are working away from home. In offices and on site we have access to resources and spaces that support comfort and mental health.
Fortis Vision’s Managing Director, Nikki Todd, said “We encourage everyone to talk about their mental health and will always strive to create supportive communities and spaces within our workplace be that on site or within individual offices. Our specially trained Mental Health First Aiders are on hand on site and in our offices to provide support and signpost people for guidance if this should ever be needed.”
“We are registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme, that aims to improve the standards of the construction industry, and take the responsibility of promoting mental health awareness seriously – via training, mentoring, tool box talks and promoting the support available”
There are various charities that you can reach out to including
Lighthouse, Mind and Samaritans
