Mental Health Support in Construction and Manufacturing

Mental health support on construction site

Proactive wellbeing services to reduce absences, improve retention, and create safer, stronger workplace cultures across Leeds and the wider UK.

Did You Know:

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, Section 2, and the Management Regulations 1999, employers have a legal duty to protect employees’ mental as well as physical health. That means having provisions in place for wellbeing, stress management, and a safe workplace culture that supports your workers every day.

If you didn’t know that, then you’ve come to the right place.

Cavalier Health provides mental health support designed specifically for the construction and manufacturing industry. Based in Leeds, we work directly with your workers—on site, in person, and in a way that fits the reality of the job. From toolbox talks and drop-in sessions to wellbeing workshops and leadership support, our services help your people feel heard, supported, and able to work safely and confidently.

Investing in workplace mental health isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s smart business:

✅ Reduced absenteeism
✅ Higher productivity
✅ Lower staff turnover
✅ A reputation as a forward-thinking, people-first employer

The construction industry loses thousands of hours each year to stress, burnout, and silence. We’re here to change that—practically, respectfully, and with real impact. Our services are built around what workers actually experience on site, ensuring meaningful improvements in your workplace culture.

Think of Cavalier Health as Mental Safety Equipment

You wouldn’t send your team on site without PPE.
So why send them into a high-pressure workplace without mental protection?

Cavalier Health is your mental safety kit:
✔️ Scaffolding for tough days
✔️ Dust masks for overwhelming thoughts
✔️ Ear defenders against burnout

We don’t wait for accidents to happen.
We help stop them before they do—mentally as well as physically. Our approach is grounded in real-world experience across the construction industry, supporting workers throughout Leeds and beyond with practical, prevention-focused services.

Ready to Raise the Bar?

Whether you're a main contractor, H&S lead, or business owner, it’s time to raise the bar on workplace wellbeing across your sites in Leeds and throughout the industry.
