Starting the conversation in construction

Sometimes a quick video is a great way to get people talking about mental health. They lend themselves well to sharing on an intranet or by email, putting up on a screen in the break room, or using as part of a longer session.

Building Mental Health has collected together four videos, each between two and four minutes long, focusing on different subjects related to mental health in construction and engineering:
