Our Services
Cavalier Health are based in Leeds but provides practical mental health training and leadership support for construction teams, individuals, and site leads across the country.
We don’t deliver Mental Health First Aid. Instead, our work focuses on building real confidence, capability, and early intervention skills through clinically informed, on-site training and leadership development that fits the realities of construction work.

Why Mental Health First Aid Alone Isn’t Enough — And What Your Site Really Needs
Many businesses start by putting their staff through Mental Health First Aid training — and it’s encouraging to see companies in construction wanting to support wellbeing. But while First Aid training raises awareness, it doesn’t create a sustainable mental health system on its own.
In reality, on busy sites across Leeds and the wider construction industry, teams often hesitate to approach an internal Mental Health First Aider. Not because they don’t care — but because:
They worry about being judged by colleagues
First Aiders already have demanding roles and limited time
Sensitive issues feel too personal to share with someone on the same team
There’s no structured follow-up after the initial conversation
Complex situations can exceed the level of training provided
So while Mental Health First Aid is a positive step, it often leaves gaps — and your teams still need accessible, professional support they can trust.
The Missing Link: Support Alongside Your Mental Health First Aiders
Cavalier Health provides what most businesses don’t realise they’re missing: an external mental health practitioner who works with your Mental Health First Aiders to create a system that people actually use.
✔️ A trusted professional on site
Someone qualified, impartial, and experienced — especially valuable in construction environments where workers are less likely to open up internally.
✔️ Consistent support your teams will actually access
Drop-ins, follow-ups, and clear guidance from a practitioner who has the time, skills, and emotional capacity to help.
✔️ A safe escalation route
Your Mental Health First Aiders no longer carry the burden alone.
✔️ Practical leadership support
Helping managers across Leeds respond confidently and appropriately.
Mental Health First Aid helps you spot a problem.
Cavalier Health helps you address it safely, effectively, and sustainably.Stronger Minds, Safer Sites Network — The Support Your First Aiders Need
We created the Stronger Minds, Safer Sites Network to support those in the workplace who are already supporting others — including Mental Health First Aiders and wellbeing leads.
The Network provides:
✔️ Ongoing learning beyond initial training
✔️ Professional guidance from a qualified practitioner
✔️ A space for questions, growth, and peer connection
✔️ Resources your teams can refer to year-roundAnd, it’s included in all retainer packages.
This means your Mental Health First Aid provision doesn’t fade after the course — it becomes part of a wider, embedded wellbeing strategy.
If you want real impact, you need more than First Aid training.
You need:
Professional support that workers actually use
Leadership involvement
A practitioner who understands construction culture
Consistency across sites
Systems that protect your teams — not just policies
Mental Health First Aid is a good start.
Cavalier Health makes it work in the real world.And we do it right here in Leeds, across construction sites, manufacturing environments, and any workplace where wellbeing truly matters.
