Services

Delivered by Peers experienced in the Building Materials Supply Industry

Early Intervention

Spot issues early. Act with impact.

We help companies put proactive systems in place to identify and respond to mental health concerns before they become crises. Our Early Intervention Programs include staff check-ins, risk awareness training, and guidance on how to respond compassionately and confidently when a team member is struggling. 

The result: early action, better outcomes, and fewer long-term absences.

Peer Support Specialists

Support from someone who’s walked the same path.
Our Peer Support Specialists are trained professionals with lived experience of mental health challenges and recovery. They provide confidential, 1:1 support, group sessions, and informal site visits, offering a listening ear, emotional encouragement, and signposting to further help. Peer support builds trust, breaks stigma, and keeps people connected.

Workplace Recovery & Wellbeing Coaching

 

Helping individuals return to work and thrive.
When a team member is returning after a mental health issue, our recovery focused coaches provide personalised, compassionate support. We help staff rebuild resilience, develop healthy coping strategies, and restore confidence, so they can engage fully at work and beyond. Coaching is tailored, flexible, and always grounded in practical recovery.


Toolbox Talks & Workshops

 

Real conversations for real world environments.
Our lived experience led Toolbox Talks and workshops are tailored for supply yards, depots, warehouses, sales teams, and head offices. These engaging sessions tackle topics like stress, suicide prevention, and mental fitness in plain, relatable language. Delivered onsite or online, they are ideal for team days, inductions, and mental health awareness campaigns.

Industry Culture Change

Creating mentally healthy workplaces, from the ground up.
We support leadership teams to embed lasting change in how mental health is understood, managed, and supported across the supply chain. Our services include:

  • Mental health strategy and policy advice
  • Management and leadership training
  • Culture audits and staff consultation
  • Ongoing sector-wide collaboration


The goal? 


A resilient, stigma-free workforce where people can ask for help without fear.

Speaking Appearances & Events

 Bringing lived experience to the stage.
We deliver powerful keynote talks, panel discussions, and facilitated sessions at industry conferences, company events, board meetings, and mental health summits.


Our speakers share their own stories of challenge and recovery, offering raw honesty, insight, and inspiration. We tailor every appearance to your audience whether you want to inspire leadership, open difficult conversations, or highlight sector specific challenges.
