Get Construction Talking
)
We’re a global initiative, founded by The B1M and Procore, that’s using the powerful reach of both our organisations to raise awareness of mental health in construction and lift-up the charities working in this space.
We’re doing that through a free-to-view video series, online portal, social media, podcasts and an events programme. We’re also working to raise US $1M to support the work of existing construction mental health charities.
On the whole, construction struggles with mental health more than any other industry. Tackling the issue is complex, but one of the most simple things that we can all start doing today is talking.
If we can all become more aware of mental health, normalise conversations around it, look to spot the signs in our colleagues that something might not be right and point them in the direction of support, then we can collectively start to move the dial on this issue at the grassroots level.
Get Construction Talking is founded on that objective. It aims to raise the profile of mental health in the industry and help millions understand how they can start to help today, for free.
