Tied Together - Mental health awareness in rope access

Mental Health Matters – Let’s Talk About It

Welcome to Rope Access Around The World – a place where we not only celebrate the unique world of rope access but also stand strong in support of mental health awareness.

 As someone who's been in the industry for years, I've faced (and still do face) my own struggles with mental health. There are times when the pressure, the isolation, and the intensity of the work took a toll on my well-being. Like many, I felt alone in my thoughts, unsure where to turn or who to talk to. But over time, I’ve come to realize that talking about mental health is not a sign of weakness – it’s a step toward healing and strength.

This is why I’ve teamed up with organizations like Gotcha4Life and Movember to help break the silence and encourage others to speak up. Whether you're struggling with your mental health or simply want to check in on a mate, it’s crucial we start these conversations. No one should have to face their challenges in silence, especially in an industry where the pressure can feel relentless.

On this platform, you’ll find resources, stories, and support that highlight the importance of mental well-being. Let’s create a community where we lift each other up, encourage open discussions, and remind each other that we’re never alone.

You don’t have to have all the answers – but talking about it is the first step.
