Spotlight: World Suicide Prevention Day 10th Sept, Lighthouse Club
Bill Hill, CEO of Lighthouse Club - With over 500 suicides every year in construction we are all morally obligated to be on the look out for individuals that are struggling.
Lighthouse is the only charity that is 100% dedicated to the physical, mental and financial wellbeing of our construction workers and their families in the UK and Ireland.
As an industry, we need to be making a concerted effort to be respective and inclusive of everyone we work alongside.
No one person should be driven to severe depression because of a lack of acceptance by their co-workers, employers, customers, friends or families.
