WhatsApp Mental Health Check-In Buddy
Support for Mental Health & Accountability
A Buddy Built for Construction
At Onward Shift, we provide a simple yet powerful solution to improve mental health, motivation and performance, especially in fast-paced, high-pressure sectors like construction.
Our WhatsApp check-in system offers proactive, personalised mental health support directly to your employees, helping them feel heard, supported and more accountable wherever they are, even on-site!
How It Works: Mental Health Check-ins and Support in Real Time
Through regular WhatsApp messages, employees are invited to rate how they’re feeling on a scale of 1–5.
Based on their response, our system responds with tailored support:
- Urgent: We signpost them to immediate mental health support, such as 24/7 crisis lines and emergency services.
- Struggling: They’re given options to start working with professional counsellors or mental health services offered by Onward Shift.
- Neutral: They receive self-help tools, tips, and access to coaching or counselling options.
- Good: We offer motivation and guidance on how to level up and maintain their progress.
- Great: We celebrate their progress and help them stay on track.
What Makes Our Mental Health Check-ins Perfect for Construction
Employees in construction often work in high-stress environments with limited access to mental health resources. Our approach ensures they receive support wherever they are without apps, portals, or intimidating HR systems.
