Celebrating World Mental Health Day 2024 at SIMIAN

10th October 2024

The theme of this year’s World Mental Health Day focused on raising awareness and encouraging conversations about mental health in the workplace. It’s a reminder that we all need moments to unwind, talk openly, and check in on how we’re feeling.

Whether it was chatting with colleagues about the day or having deeper conversations about challenges and mental health, this simple activity served as a reminder of the importance of connection and support in maintaining a healthy mindset.

Construction and scaffolding are demanding industries, both physically and mentally. The pressures of deadlines, safety regulations, and the complexity of projects can take a toll. While we prioritise safety measures on-site and during training courses, we’re equally committed to ensuring our team members and learners feel supported mentally.

World Mental Health Day is a great reminder of the importance of wellbeing, but at SIMIAN, we are dedicated to promoting mental health awareness throughout the year. By offering support networks and open communication we aim to create an environment where both staff and learners can thrive.
