To help tackle the ongoing mental health epidemic in construction, PBC are proactively taking steps to dispel traditional stereotypes and support its staff in the early prevention of mental ill-health. To encourage its individuals to feel comfortable in opening up and talking about their mental wellbeing, the team at PBC have developed a series of initiatives including: launching a new poster campaign; delivering monthly mental health reminders via the company’s WhatsApp group; promoting links to the Lighthouse Charity, Mental Health Ireland and the LAYA Employee Assistance Programme; and investing in its network of Mental Health First Aiders. The initiative also inspired a fundraiser event for a mental health charity, that saw 15 members of staff abseil Thomond Park Stadium to raise 6000 euro.
