Why Partner with MATES?
Becoming a Partner of MATES in Construction enables you to be part of a programme tasked with reducing the number of people dying by suicide within our industry and creating a community within your workplace that is about MATES helping MATES.
Our programme will provide your workers with the tools to enable them to identify the signs and have the tough conversations with their MATES when they notice that someone may not be travelling well.
Partnering with MATES gives your organisation the following opportunities:
- Make a difference in your company and industry as a collective

Suicide is preventable and workplace focused programmes have been found to be effective interventions.
