We’re bringing the industry together for the MATES NSW Lunch – a day to catch up with your mates, share stories, and back each other in the fight for better suicide prevention and mental health in the construction industry.
Our training events equip workers with the skills to recognise warning signs of mental ill-health and suicide, and to take safe, practical steps to offer support. Through sessions like General Awareness Talks (GAT), Connector and ASIST, participants learn how to build a stronger, more connected workplace where help-seeking is normalised and stigma is reduced.
Hosting a MATES fundraising event is a powerful way to support suicide prevention and mental health in the construction industry. Whether it's a BBQ, fun run, raffle, or community challenge, these events raise vital funds while bringing people together to start conversations, reduce stigma, and show that we’re stronger together. Every dollar raised helps MATES deliver life-saving training and on-site support across worksites and industries.
