About the MHA course

Construction loses more people to suicide than to falls, and mental health awareness is now recognised as a site safety issue like any other. This training builds understanding of common mental health conditions, the signs to look for in colleagues, how to start a conversation without making it worse, and where to direct people for professional help.
