Hi everyone,
August is Tradies National Health Month, to highlight the importance of health and safety among Australia’s trade workers. Mental health and wellbeing is crucial to the safety of anyone in the mining or construction industries, so Beyond Blue is hosting a special free webinar for our tradie community on Tuesday 12 August at 4.30pm which you can register for here.
We know that Tradies can face unique stressors, with a culture of toughness and difficult job demands that can impact personal time and self-care. It can also be tough for partners and family members who aren’t sure how to support someone in a trade who may be showing signs that their mental health isn’t at its best.
If you’re unsure where to start your conversation this is the space for you. Whether you want to share your own experiences, ask questions, or simply connect with others who understand what you're going through, you're in the right place.
If you're seeking additional support, here are some resources:
-

-
This Is A Conversation Starter: TIACS - This is a Conversation Starter
-
Mates in Construction: MATES - Industry Based Suicide Prevention - MATES
Don’t forget - our counsellors are always here for you on 1300 22 46 36.
We’ll also use this space to post some of the questions and answers from the webinar discussion. Feel free to dive in and keep the conversation going.
Thank you again for joining us — we’re glad you’re here.
