Building Mental Health is a group of volunteers from the industry that have informal meetings to help pull together thinking and best practice around the huge subject of Mental Health into a portal for easy access. The current volunteers leading the initiatives of Building Mental Health are:
Martin Coyd OBE – Operations Director for Health and Safety at MACE
Brian Van Campenhout – Head of Environmental Health and Safety at LENDLEASE
Revd. Kevin Fear – Strategy Lead on Health and Safety at CITB
Bill Hill – Chief Executive of the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity
Simply put, our goal is to
- encourage the industry to engage and embrace the mental health agenda
- make best practice and information readily and wherever possible freely available
- ensure that the industry takes a huge leap forward to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health by getting the conversation started while educating as many as possible where and when to seek help
