Onward Shift Newsletter

These newsletters exist for one reason: to put mental health at the heart of the conversation in construction.

We work in an industry known for its strength, resilience, and no-nonsense attitude, but behind that toughness, many are struggling in silence.

Long hours, uncertain job security, high-pressure environments, and the “just get on with it” mindset have taken a toll. It’s time to face that reality head-on.

This newsletter is our space to do just that.

Each issue tackles a different theme around mental wellbeing – from burnout and isolation to leadership, culture, and the power of a simple check-in.

You’ll hear from people on-site, in offices, in boots and hard hats, as well as mental health professionals who understand the unique challenges this industry faces.

Our goal? To create a more open, more human, and more supportive construction culture. One that doesn’t wait for a crisis before offering support.
