Just a few things that have been said about LadsMinds.
Lee Killick FLO at Tideway Central Falconbrook Foreman Supervisor
"Ladsminds is a great idea it gives the opportunity to the workforce to actually speak to someone that knows what they might be going through especially when it is hard for men to talk to someone having someone to speak to that is on your level is it a lot easier. Caimin donlon has done a fantastic job on rolling out the scheme and the braveness to go to sites and talk to people and very hard"
David Kay Laing O'Rourke Construction Manager
“The impact that Ladsminds presentations have had on the workforce is quite significant from my viewpoint, the emphasis on the mental health of construction site operatives driven by a team which actually are construction operatives is really refreshing. The real passion behind the message of awareness and for everyone to understand that there is a lot to be grateful for went down really well led to some really insightful conversations amongst the team. The fact that construction site operatives have such a high rate of suicides is the target that LadsMinds have in their sights and to raise conversations around this can only help”
Matthew Jenkins Danny Sullivan group Carpenter

Jemelin Artigas Entrepreneur, BBC apprentice star LadsMinds Spokesperson
“Hi I am Jemelin Artigas entrepreneur, motivational speaker and you might have seen me on the Apprentice TV show 15th series now I am also a spokesperson person for LadsMinds. When I was first told by Caimin about this idea never In A million years I thought that the suicide rate in the construction industry was 3 times higher than the average and I was even more shocked That I have never hear about it, this workers work under severe weather conditions, long hours and dangerous jobs and most of them are away for long periods from their loved ones so how comes no one has ever seen this ?! There is many charities and organisations out there but nothing targeting this particular industry just for the workers on site! . I am someone that has personally suffered from mental health finally i was able to Learn simple tools to get my self in a better state of mind so when I heard about ladsminds I jumped right in , I know the industry is in need to raise awareness and I couldn’t be more excited to be part of it . I feel this is a forgotten industry that doesn’t get the recognition it deserves and the care needed so I am so grateful to be part of the transformation and helping everyone lead a better mindset to a happier life. This is not only going to revolutionise the Industry but also will be changing life’s and for us that’s all that matters so make sure you help us and join us in this journey”
