Mental health is a significant issue affecting many Australians and CJD Equipment says it is proud to be constructing a path to better mental health through raising awareness and funds for Beyond Blue.
One in five construction workers experience a diagnosable mental health condition and one in 20 experience suicidal thoughts, which is why CJD Equipment and Volvo Construction Equipment want to acknowledge this struggle and contribute to supporting not only the people in the industry but across the country as well, it says.
Beyond Blue helps equip Australians with the knowledge and skills to protect their own mental health, helping to give people the confidence to support those around them, as well as tackle the stigma, prejudice and discrimination that prevent people from speaking up or reaching out for help.
CJD says that it is committed to maintaining a workplace that prioritises the health and wellbeing of its staff, customers and the communities in which it operates.
If you or anyone you know needs support, you can contact Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636 or visit beyondblue.org.au.
