June is Men’s Mental Health Month

Mental health affects every workplace, but for many men, talking about it remains one of the biggest challenges.

Some sobering facts:

- Men account for around 3 out of every 4 su***des in the UK.

- More than half of men say they find it difficult to talk about their mental health, often due to stigma or fear of appearing weak.

- In construction, the challenge is even greater. Construction workers are around 3 times more likely to die by su***de than the national average, making mental wellbeing just as important as physical safety.

- Recent industry research found that 28% of construction workers experienced suicidal thoughts at least once in the previous year.

At Approach Personnel, we spend every day speaking to people across construction, civils, housing, fit out and industrial sectors. Behind every CV, job title and project is a person, and their wellbeing matters.

This Men’s Mental Health Month, let’s continue to check in with colleagues, create supportive workplaces and remind people that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

At Approach Personnel, we are proud to support and champion many incredible women who helping to shape the construction industry.

From trades and labour to technical, commercial, and leadership roles, women make a huge impact across every part of the sector. As an industry, there is still more work to do, but it’s great to see more businesses encouraging diversity, inclusion, and long-term career opportunities for women in construction.

Here at Approach Personnel, we remain committed to supporting talented Women across the industry and helping create opportunities for the next generation of construction professionals.
