Mental illness doesn’t discriminate
Mental illness doesn’t discriminate – it affects 1 in 5 Australians every year with symptoms like depression and anxiety. The impact can be devastating, not only for those living with it, but for those around them.
That’s why we are proudly raising funds for the Black Dog Institute, to support crucial mental health research and support services that help Australians impacted by mental illness and suicide.
Here are some stats;
Construction workers are more than twice as likely to suicide as other people in Australia
Construction workers are six times more likely to die by suicide than through a workplace accident
Apprentices in construction are two and a half times more likely to suicide than other young men their age
21% of workers in the construction industry were shown to have had a mental health condition
9% of construction workers have a condition affecting their mood, such as depression
Help us create a meaningful moment for mental health and reduce these statistics.
