In Episode 23 of Built4UsPodcast, Stevie and Craig return to tackle a big question in today's construction industry: Are mental health first aiders actually helping — or have they become a tick box exercise? With increasing awareness around men's mental health in construction, many companies now have mental health first aiders in place. But is it making a real difference on-site? Or are workers still struggling in silence? Drawing from real on-site experience and over 25 years in health & safety, Stevie and Craig break down what's working, what's not, and what mental health support in construction should actually look like. In this episode, we cover: -The role of mental health first aiders in construction -Whether they provide real support or just tick compliance boxes -Why some workers still don't trust the system -The gap between awareness and action -What meaningful mental health support should look like on-site -Why the industry needs to rethink its approach This is a straight-talking, honest conversation about the reality of mental health in construction — and why change is still needed. If you work in the industry or care about improving workplace wellbeing and support for men, this episode is for you.
