A group of local electricians have been suiting up in funky floral shirts each Friday to spread a message: come say gidday and chat about mental health.
When All Whitsunday Electrical staff head out on the job on a ‘Fun Shirt Friday’, they’re decked out in their usual workman pants and boots, but topped with vibrant flowery shirts to spread the simple idea to be open about mental health and supporting your mates.
Co-owner of All Whitsunday Electrical Chris Shea said the idea was “to put mental health at the forefront of people’s minds.”
“We had a couple of episodes over the past few years where people have left town because they’ve had mental health issues,” Chris said.
“We think about that now with our twelve staff. Whatever drama you’ve got, someone near you has probably been through the same. You could be one conversation away from saving a life just because of a fun shirt.”
Mr Shea said they began Fun Shirt Fridays to spread that message around not just their workplace, but the community.
The company plan on wearing their floral shirts indefinitely for Friday fun shirts to maintain that culture of being an open book.
“Give us a wave if you see us out there in the Whitsundays!” he said.
All Whitsunday Electrical, a local business to Airlie Beach and surrounds, have been trying to start a conversation about mental health through wearing floral shirts on Fridays
