Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, so I wanted to check in to see how you’re doing. With construction workers being four times more likely to die by suicide than the national average, we want to let you know you’re not alone and discuss how you could seek help for yourself or even help a friend. Here are some stats to start you off today. On The Tools, recently found that 73% of the country's 2.1 million construction workers have been affected by mental illness and in the last decade, over 7,000 have taken their own lives. We want you to know today you are not alone, we’re here to help as are all your mates, not just on your site, but everyone listening to this up and down the country.We were joined by James Pacy who told us about his very powerful experience and Keith Lewis from Samaritan who told us about the services they provide and who helped us with some advice to help family and friends. Remember, if you ever need them Samaritans are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week on 116 123. Plus, there's the pub lunch quiz, and you'll hear the very best messages we received.You matter and are never alone. If you've been struggling, help is always available:Samaritans - https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/Fix Radio Foundation - https://fixradiofoundation.co.uk/Construction Industry Helpline - https://www.constructionindustryhelpline.com/Andy's Man Club - https://andysmanclub.co.uk/Catch Clive On Fix Radio Monday - Thursday 12 PM - 3 PM Across The UK On DAB Radio And Online At https://www.fixradio.co.uk/
