MIND YOUR HEAD at UK Construction Week 2019

In an effort to help combat these staggering and devastating statistics, MIND YOUR HEAD – a national campaign designed to promote mental wellbeing for men working in the construction industry – has set a challenge to raise awareness about the crucial issue of mental health within the construction industry this year.

Careys is proud to support MIND YOUR HEAD’s important initiative. We are contributing our time, resources and expertise to the campaign’s Material Support exhibition, which is taking place at UK Construction Week 2019. This event is timed to coincide with today’s World Mental Health day, and aims to reinforce the growing focus on the importance of mental health and well-being across the industry.

MIND YOUR HEAD

MIND YOUR HEAD was specifically created by leading psychotherapist, Dr Gareth Palmer – founder of Men Should Talk— in order to bring mental health issues to the surface. Explaining the primary purpose of the campaign, Dr Palmer stated:

Supporting MIND YOUR HEAD

In order to shine a light on and emphasise the vital importance of fostering mental health awareness across the construction industry, MIND YOUR HEAD has chosen to launch its Material Support exhibition at one of the UK’s largest construction industry events – the annual, three-day UK Construction Week, which is currently taking place in Birmingham.

We are harnessing our extensive construction industry skills and knowledge to support MIND YOUR HEAD by helping to build the exhibition, with assistance from our specialist teams.

The exhibition uses building materials to represent strong examples of mental health in the construction industry. It combines these pieces of mental art with immersive audio and visual experiences, as well as keynote seminars from influential guest speakers, such as RIBA President Alan Jones. Managing Director of Agency Spring, Paul Iddon, also serves as MIND YOUR HEAD’s creative and marketing partner. Commenting on the construction industry’s robust response to and participation in the exhibition, he said:
