R U OK? Day encourages people to stay connected and have conversations that can help others through difficult times in their lives, reminding us that you don’t need a qualification to ask – R U OK?
In recognition of the day, Perfect sites and offices held several events including pre-starts, morning teas and BBQs. Raising awareness of the importance of being alert to those we work with and having a conversation to connect someone to appropriate support if we identify signs of distress or difficulty.
Mental health can be a tricky minefield, especially in male-dominated industries like construction. In the last hundred years of western civilisation, right or wrong, we’ve been taught to uphold ‘masculine’ strengths like resilience, backbone & grit and look down upon ‘feminine’ strengths like vulnerability, expression & emotion. Heads up boys: both are important – both have their place.
