Day [Sustainability](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/ramp-up/tag/sustainability) [People](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/ramp-up/tag/people) 30 Sep 2022 1 Minute Read September marks R U OK? Day, which we acknowledged across Monadelphous. This year’s theme for R U OK? Day was ‘No qualifications needed’, acting as a reminder to check in on our mates and to have meaningful conversations with them.   Research has found that four in ten people feel that asking R U OK? is a conversation better had with an expert, but while the work of health professionals is vital, we can all play a role in supporting the people in our lives.  This year’s theme reinforces that you don’t have to be an expert to have an R U OK? Conversation. Listening and giving someone your time might just be what they need to help them through.  We encourage you to ask those around you, R U OK? because a conversation could change a life.   For more information on R U OK? Day visit the [R U OK?](https://www.ruok.org.au/) Day website.   ## **Understanding EAP **  If you need someone to talk to, all Monadelphous employees and their immediate families can access our employee assistance program (EAP). EAP can be accessed for personal or work-related issues – designed for short-term psychological assistance.  The most common problems include relationship issues, anxiety and worry, suicidal thoughts, family problems, depression and low moods, conflict at home or work, grief, decision making, wellbeing and coaching, anger management and sleep difficulties.   Employees and their family members are provided with three free sessions to start, related to a specific event/situation/circumstance. If extra sessions are required, this can be discussed with the EAP psychologist – details of which continue to remain completely confidential.  To access our confidential EAP services, you can make a booking with PeopleSense via their [website](https://www.peoplesense.com.au/online-eap-booking/booking-request-intake-form) or call them on 1300 307 912.   If you’d like to watch a recent presentation from PeopleSense for R U OK Day you can below: ## **A very personal story from a teammate **  A couple of years ago, one of our own Monadelphous teammates, Tony Higgs, was brave enough to share his story about his own battle with mental health.   As a Construction Manager, who spent his career on site, he shares an important message on breaking down the stigma traditionally associated with mental ill health and the importance of contributing to the safety of open discussions and help people access support they may need.   If you haven’t already seen it, you can listen to Tony talk about his story below: ## Leave a comment Previous Post The Safe Way is the Only Way at Monadelphous Next Post Emma’s Nhulunbuy visit ## Recommended For You [![](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/hubfs/Pushing%20new%20ground%20for%20mental%20health.png)](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/ramp-up/pushing-new-ground-for-mental-health) [Sustainability](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/ramp-up/tag/sustainability) [People](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/ramp-up/tag/people) 1 Min Read ### [Pushing new ground for mental health](https://news.monadelphous.com.au/ramp-up/pushing-new-ground-for-mental-health) The Monadelphous ‘Push Up’ Community was made up of 19 teams and 141 legends from across the business ...
