WHO WE ARE

Minority Mental Health Awareness Month

Differing cultural perspectives on mental health, barriers or limited access to care, historical trauma, and inequitable policies can all add invisible weight. Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is an important time for education and advocacy, and to reaffirm a commitment to ensuring that all construction workers are seen, heard, and understood. 

The Bricklayers' Member Assistance Program (MAP) is a place to talk to someone who grasps the pressures of the job and who can provide culturally responsive support and guidance. BAC MAP will help you get connected to the resources that work for you, no matter your background or story. We encourage all BAC members and their loved ones who are seeking mental health help to get in touch by calling 1-833-MAP-TALK, M-F, 8am-7pm ET. 

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the BAC is here to support members who may need the following message more than ever: it's okay to not be okay.

When facing hardships, it's important to know that you have not failed, and you are not alone. BAC MAP is a resource that can confidentially help members and their loved ones address their mental health needs, allowing for opportunities to lead happier, more fulfilling, and peaceful lives. To connect with BAC MAP, please call 1-833-MAP-TALK, M-F 8am-7pm ET. 

International Alcohol Awareness Month

International Alcohol Awareness Month is an opportunity to evaluate one's relationship with alcohol, and to explore paths forward should there be a call for change. 

BAC MAP stands in support of members who may need help for challenges related to alcohol use. If you or a loved one are in need, please contact 1-833-MAP-TALK for confidential help.
