Stocksigns has launched its new range of mental health construction signs in collaboration with The Lucy Rayner Foundation. As the first – and currently the only – signage manufacturer to develop mental health signage in collaboration with a charity, the range is designed to encourage workers to seek help on site if needed and provide clear guidance on who to turn to for immediate support.
The Lucy Rayner Foundation provides a variety of mental health support services, including support groups around Surrey. To help shine a light on the signs and symptoms of depression and other mental health challenges as well as how to seek help, Stocksigns has partnered with the charity to target construction sites. The industry has one of the highest levels of stress and suicide; an issue that Stocksigns is well-aware of given its close working relationships with construction teams.
The new range includes mental health first aider signs, which provide clear direction for workers to contact their mental health first aider. Mental health resource posters can be used to display important information including who to talk to if you are struggling, how to spot the signs of mental health issues and where to find further help. Also part of the new range are general reminder signs, which are tailored to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage open conversations. These include simple messages such as: ‘It’s okay not to be okay’ and ‘Are you feeling low?’.
Furthermore, Stocksigns is also offering a Mental Health Starter Pack to help site managers kick-start on-site mental health messaging with six essential signs, including a mental health first aider sign, a mental health resource poster and four general reminder signs.
Danny Adamson, Managing Director at Stocksigns, commented: “We are proud to be collaborating with The Lucy Rayner Foundation on such a meaningful project. “We recognise that promoting health and safety on construction sites means not only addressing physical risks, but also mental wellbeing, which is why this range is so important. In fact, a recent report, Understanding Mental Health in the Built Environment 2025, revealed that 28% of construction workers had experienced suicidal thoughts in the past year and 17% did not have the confidence to approach a colleague they thought might be struggling.
“The new range will not only direct workers to help but will also play a vital role in creating a culture on site where people can discuss their struggles more openly. To further support the charity, Stocksigns will also be donating 10% of the earnings we receive from the orders to The Lucy Rayner Foundation.”
Jenny Rayner, CEO of The Lucy Rayner Foundation, said: “I am really excited to work in collaboration with Stocksigns on the new mental health signage range for construction sites. Through the work that we do around men’s mental health and the statistics that surrounds the construction industry, I know only too well the outcome of mental health and suicide. That’s why having our range of mental health signage on every site is so important, to raise awareness and start important conversations. That conversation could be the difference in saving someone’s life.”
