That’s not a statistic you’ll see on a safety board. But it’s the reality Mindflow was created to change. Launched by former England and Everton midfielder Trevor Steven, Mindflow is a new mental health charity focused entirely on the construction industry. Our aim is simple but urgent: to make mental wellbeing as essential to site culture as hard hats or PPE. “There’s a silent crisis within the industry,” Trevor shared in a recent interview with Sky Sports News about the launch of Mindflow. “We’re not here to preach or teach about mental health – but to connect, to listen, and to open up spaces where real conversations can happen.” With 87% of the workforce being male and 67% identifying as football fans, Trevor saw an opportunity to meet workers where they are – both literally and culturally. For the last two years, he’s been visiting sites across the UK, using his football background to spark open conversations with workers who often struggle in silence. This is about changing the industry from the inside out – one site, one conversation, one life at a time. ###### Help bring mental health to the heart of construction. ###### Explore how you can get involved at [www.mindflow.charity](https://mindflow.charity/) ###### Want to stay in the loop?  [Sign up to our newsletter here →](https://mindflow.charity/subscribe) Join our mailing list [ Subscribe here ](https://mindflow.charity/subscribe) Popular articles - [ The Christopher Ward Cup: football for better mental health ](https://mindflow.charity/blog/the-christopher-ward-cup-football-for-better-mental-health) - [ Running for a Legacy: Harry Blight’s Challenge for Mindflow in Memory of His Father ](https://mindflow.charity/blog/running-for-a-legacy-harry-blights-challenge-for-mindflow-in-memory-of-his-father) - [ VolkerStevin Joins Mindflow United to Champion Mental Health in Construction ](https://mindflow.charity/blog/volkerstevin-joins-mindflow-united-to-champion-mental-health-in-construction) - [ Mindflow hosts a Match-Up session in Manchester with Domis Construction ](https://mindflow.charity/blog/mindflow-hosts-a-match-up-session-at-domis-construction-in-manchester) Share [![Share on linkedin](https://mindflow.charity/hubfs/raw_assets/public/causeway-theme/images/icons/linkedin_social.svg) ](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://mindflow.charity/blog/sky-sports-tackling-the-silent-crisis-in-construction&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin) [![Share on twitter](https://mindflow.charity/hubfs/raw_assets/public/causeway-theme/images/icons/twitter_social.svg) ](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https://mindflow.charity/blog/sky-sports-tackling-the-silent-crisis-in-construction&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&url=https://mindflow.charity/blog/sky-sports-tackling-the-silent-crisis-in-construction&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Trevor%20Steven%20speaks%20to%20Sky%20Sports%20about%20tackling%20the%20silent%20crisis%20in%20construction) [![Share on facebook](https://mindflow.charity/hubfs/raw_assets/public/causeway-theme/images/icons/facebook_social.svg) ](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://mindflow.charity/blog/sky-sports-tackling-the-silent-crisis-in-construction&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook) ![Copy to clipboard](https://mindflow.charity/hubfs/raw_assets/public/causeway-theme/images/icons/link_social.svg) ## Related articles Mindflow News ![HMS Joins Mindflow United to Champion Mental Health in Construction](https://mindflow.charity/hubfs/Blog%20pic%203-1.jpg) July 7th 2026 ### HMS Joins Mindflow United to Champion Mental Health in Construction Mindflow is proud to announce a new partnership with HMS, who join as the latest member of Mindflow United, to tackle mental health in construction.
