Tradies Fight for Mates: Fortitude Boxing Gym Throws Punches at Suicide in Construction
Brisbane, QLD – Wednesday 23rd October 2024 – Fortitude Boxing Gym, renowned for training Australia’s top fighters and supporting veterans, youth, and First Nations communities, is launching a knockout blow against a devastating foe: suicide in the construction industry.
Tradie Fight Night, a thrilling Fight Night on November 30th, 2024 at the Fortitude Music Hall, will raise awareness and help raise funds for Mates in Construction (mates.org.au), a vital organization tackling Australia’s construction industry’s silent killer.
The Shocking Reality:
Every two days, a construction worker tragically takes their own life.
Construction workers are eight times more likely to die by suicide than workplace accidents.
Young construction workers are over twice as likely to commit suicide than other young Australian men.
Why It Matters:
The transient nature of construction work, coupled with a culture of stoicism, creates a breeding ground for mental health struggles. Tradies often find it difficult to discuss their emotions, leading to feelings of isolation and a silent crisis.
Fighting Back with Fists and Funds:
Tradie Fight Night pairs the raw power of boxing with the critical message of mental health awareness. This electrifying event will raise awareness and critical funds for Mates in Construction, providing crucial support to our tradies in need.
Join the Fight:
Show your support for our construction heroes by attending Tradie Fight Night. Together, we can knock out the stigma surrounding mental health and ensure no tradie fights this battle alone.
