A joint conference held at Ark Conference Centre, Basingstoke is set to explore how poor mental health can affect skin conditions and the construction industry<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0\u2018Mental wellbeing \u2013 the next step\u2019 conference taking place on the 3rd December, has been set up by\u00a0Institution of Occupational Safety and Health<\/a> (IOSH) to offer help and expertise to those working in the sector.<\/p>\n

Links between skin conditions such as psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema and poor mental health<\/a> will be among the topics discussed at the conference.<\/p>\n

An expert talk by Dr Helen Taylor, an Associate Member of IOSH and a Partner at EnviroDerm Services, will explore how poor mental health can have significant effects on the condition of our skin.<\/p>\n

Dr Taylor said: \u201cMental health issues such as anxiety and depression can have a profound influence on the condition of our skin. Skin is often described as the \u2018window of the soul\u2019, as it reflects how we\u2019re feeling on the inside as much as it shows how we\u2019re feeling on the outside.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur skin is a barrier to external illness, so when it isn\u2019t faring well it impacts our defences.<\/p>\n

“Sadly, despite skin being our largest organ, skin diseases are often overlooked, as people do now view them as the top priority.<\/p>\n

“This can have a snowball effect, as failing to treat skin conditions can affect us in other ways, including having negative impacts on our mental health and causing sleep deprivation due to being uncomfortable in bed.”<\/p>\n

In a separate speech, Joscelyne Shaw, from Mates in Mind<\/a>, will be discussing the importance of mental wellbeing in the UK construction industry.<\/p>\n

Mates in Mind aims to raise awareness, address the stigma of poor mental health and improve the positive mental wellbeing of construction workers.<\/p>\n

A panel of speakers representing HR, occupational health and procurement will also\u00a0discuss and take questions about mental wellbeing in the workplace and what employers can do to support their staff.<\/p>\n

Poor mental health in the construction industry was recently described during IOSH\u2019s first annual construction conference<\/a> as \u2018the silent epidemic\u2019.<\/p>\n

Work-related stress, depression and anxiety overtook musculoskeletal disorders as the most reported workplace health issue in the sector.<\/p>\n

As a result, the construction industry has more suicides than any other profession, with 454 construction workers taking their own lives in 2016.<\/p>\n
