MATES MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Research has indicated a decrease in suicide rates since the inception of MATES in Construction in QLD when compared to other states that had not yet adopted the program. Approaching 200,000 people who have been general awareness trained, MATES has opened discussion and reduced stigma, enabling workers to offer help to others.
