As part of Scottish Apprenticeship Week, Thomas Johnstone Ltd attended the Scottish Building Federation’s Apprentice Mental Health & Wellbeing Event in collaboration with Mates in Mind to raise awareness of apprentice & new entrants’ mental health issues in the construction industry.

Representatives throughout the business attended this afternoon’s seminar to learn more about how best to support our apprentices in developing the skills they need to maintain good mental health.

Thomas Johnstone take great pride and responsibility in providing opportunities and developing Modern Apprenticeships in all areas of our business but we know that employing young people as apprentices comes with responsibilities.  One way in which we do this is by keeping the lines of communication open between our apprentices, their mentors and TJL’s management. We also spread awareness via our 7 internal Mental Health First Aiders who are available to speak to anyone who is struggling with their mental health.
