The Chartered Institute of Building’s (CIOB) 2025 report sheds light on the dual nature of progress and persistent challenges in mental health within the construction sector. While initiatives like Mental Health Awareness Week have gained traction, with 77% participation, and over half of the workforce now having access to trained Mental Health First Aiders, significant hurdles remain. The report reveals that 28% of workers have experienced suicidal thoughts, and 24% endure daily stress, underscoring the urgent need for comprehensive support systems. Despite increased awareness, issues such as stigma, communication barriers, and a demanding work culture continue to impede progress. The CIOB emphasizes the importance of integrating mental health considerations into workplace safety protocols to foster a healthier, more resilient workforce.
