Building Bonds and Breaking Stigma

The Lismore Memorial Baths became more than just a construction site this week as Bennett Constructions with assistance from Konnect Fastening Systems hosted a special barbecue to commemorate two vital causes – R U OK?Day and MATES in Construction.

The Baths transformed into a hub of unity, support and camaraderie as Council staff, local contractors and construction workers gathered for the event.

R U OK Day is a reminder that a simple question can make a world of difference. While Mates in Construction addresses the high level of suicide within the Australian construction industry.

The barbecue emphasised that it's okay not to be okay, and seeking help and support is a sign of strength, not weakness.
