The Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers’ Member Assistance Program (MAP) provides confidential telephone crisis intervention, referral and information services to BAC members in the U.S. and Canada.
MAP provides members with a place to turn for help in coping with personal problems that interfere with job performance or home life. MAP services are offered at no cost to active and retired union members and their families. Members’ privacy is fully protected.
The Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers' Member Assistance Program (MAP) is committed to providing education, increasing visibility, reducing stigma and fostering a sense of community around matters that pertain to our members' quality of life; especially as it relates to mental illness and substance use.
MAP Now is an initiative intended to generate awareness and engage our brothers and sisters in the critical effort to promote wellbeing in the construction industry. MAP Now is a home for BAC members looking to plug in to current events, happenings, and up-to-date advocacy campaigns and efforts having to do with healing, recovery, and personal development.
Opioid misuse has found its way into the construction industry, and BAC members are at a disproportionately high risk for developing an opioid dependence. MAP is committed to combating the devastating consequences of this epidemic through our Anti-Opioid Misuse Campaign.
Active and retired union members and their families may call toll-free to speak confidentially to MAP’s licensed mental health professionals at 1-833-MAP TALK (1-833-627-8255). Calls are generally accepted from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time Monday through Friday. While many calls are answered immediately, if clinical staff members are responding to another call, you are given the option to leave a confidential voicemail message for a return call.
With the member’s permission, clinical staff members do the legwork on behalf of the member by contacting insurance representatives and locating community referrals uniquely tailored to an individual’s specific situation and needs. MAP also assists uninsured members to connect with services.
We believe in the power of prevention, education, and intervention to increase members' awareness of the dangers of opioid abuse, to reduce stigma, and to save lives.
Depression, anxiety, and chronic stress are just a few of the many mental health concerns that afflict our members. We can help you address feelings of low energy, low self-esteem, worthlessness, lack of interest, poor concentration, helplessness and hopelessness, suicidality and more.
