At our HumeLink West Batlow site, our CPB Contractors and UGL team came together as part of the MATES in Construction Fly the Flag campaign, standing in support of suicide prevention and mental wellbeing. The video captures how our FIFO workers are creating space for honest conversations and checking in on their mates.
Today is World Mental Health Day, a day to reflect on the importance of wellbeing, reminding us to take care of ourselves and those around us. This year’s theme, Connect for Mental Health, encourages us to build strong connections — with ourselves, our colleagues, our communities, and the world around us.
Across the CIMIC Group we support the wellbeing of our people and our communities.
This video is a great example of our people coming together to remove any stigmas associated with mental health by encouraging conversation.
