In an industry known for its high-pressure environments and physical demands, mental health often takes a back seat.
Today, on World Mental Health Day, we want to recognise how important it is to support the wellbeing of everyone involved in building our world – on-site and off.
At Lignacite, we understand that great projects are built by great teams, and those teams perform their best when they’re supported. Whether it`s ensuring safety, fostering open communication, or offering a friendly ear for those who need it, mental health matters as much as any material we use. 🏗️💚
Let`s keep mental health in mind – today and every day – and build a more supportive industry, block by block.
