This week is Mental Health Awareness Week
As Vickerstock, we work across Construction, Engineering & Manufacturing, and we understand the pressures these industries face every day.
Tight deadlines, long hours, physically demanding environments and high-pressure projects can all take a toll on mental well-being.
3 in 10 engineers report moderate to very poor mental health and
Construction remains one of the UKโs most at-risk industries for mental health crisis.
Thankfully, more companies are now prioritising wellbeing by introducing:
Mental Health First Aiders
Counselling support
Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs)
Wellbeing initiatives on-site
If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available.
