Mental Health Toolbox Talks Built to Start Conversations
Mental Health Toolbox Talks Built to Start Conversations
A toolbox talk is a short, practical session designed to get people talking about an important topic. When it comes to mental health, we believe they should do more than simply be read out, signed and forgotten.
Onward Shift Mental Health Toolbox Talks are designed specifically for construction. Each talk takes around 10–15 minutes to deliver and combines relatable situations, practical information, discussion questions and simple actions people can take away with them.
They cover real issues people may face both inside and outside the workplace, helping teams and learners better understand mental health, recognise when something might not be right and feel more confident starting a conversation.
