Time To Talk Day
February 3, 2025
Each year since 2001, the UK has recognised Mental Health Awareness Week, but Time To Talk Day is also running on the 6th of February and is designed to try and get people talking more about mental health.

Although great strides have been taken to address the stigma around mental health we still lose too many people to this illness within the construction and engineering sectors. However, we are pleased to report that Cairhill’s QNUK Award in Mental Health coaching has now been accredited and we can offer this training to all our employees in-house.
The qualification covers the most common mental health conditions, how to identify potential mental health concerns in colleagues and then how to discuss their needs and assist them to access suitable services and support. It’s an ideal introduction to understanding mental health in the workplace, and it can all start with a simple conversation. ‘So let’s get comfortable and start talking about mental health’
Sincere thanks to SEEME, SAMH and SUICIDE PREVENTION, some of the charities that we support. And to Richard Struthers for all his hard work.
