Today is World Mental Health Day.

Support often starts with a simple conversation.

In our industry, looking out for each other matters. Check in with your crew, make time to listen, and if you need support yourself, please reach out.

No one has to carry the pressure alone. We’re here to support.

Last year, Sam Stubbs visited Taranaki for a special event hosted by Symons Group in partnership with Building Wellness Taranaki, sparking important conversations around financial wellbeing, resilience and building stronger futures.

At the time, Simplicity generously donated $5,000 to support our work. Thanks to the continued advocacy of Dean Eggers, we’ve recently received a further donation from Simplicity - another meaningful show of support for the wellbeing of people and communities.

We’re incredibly grateful to Dean, Sam and the wider Simplicity team for not only the financial support, but also the belief in the work we’re doing across Taranaki’s construction, engineering, transport and trades sectors.

Strong communities are built through strong partnerships, and we’re proud to have champions like these alongside us.

Ngā mihi nui from the Building Wellness Taranaki team.

Strong crews start with strong people, and looking after ourselves matters! 💪🏽

This week, another Taranaki crew completed Help-Self, the first workshop in our four-part series. Focused on self-awareness and the everyday practical tools that keep us well and balanced.

Thanks to everyone for investing in themselves, and to the employers who backed them to be there.

🏔️ AIN’T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH.

The weather’s thrown us a few curveballs and the plan has changed, evolved… and changed again. Adaptation is key , but the mission hasn’t changed.

THIS afternoon, the crew are heading up the maunga before swapping alpine boots for trail shoes and pushing on through the night all to raise funds and awareness for Building Wellness Taranaki and tackling the 6 Peaks of Taranaki.

Because supporting the Mental Health and wellbeing of our local tradies in our construction sector is worth going the extra mile for.

Every dollar raised helps BWT continue providing vital support, connection and conversations across our community.

So Taranaki get behind the Steve and his crew, help them dig deep and help us make every step count.
And if you’re keen, chuck the trail shoes on and join us for part of the journey Sunday morning — details to come!

Hard shared is better than hard alone.
Tools Down. Heads Up.Boots On.
