May 2025: Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the BAC is here to help. With a vision of increasing understanding, reducing stigma, and promoting care and recovery, the Bricklayers' Member Assistance Program (MAP) has the goal of protecting the mental health and wellbeing interests of all BAC members and their loved ones.
Construction workers may feel pressure to appear tough and together at all times, and may not hear enough that it's okay to not be okay. Our message, however, is clear: you are not broken, and you are not alone. To connect with BAC MAP, please call 1-833-MAP-TALK, M-F, 8am-7pm ET.
In addition to connecting with BAC MAP for help if needed, we encourage members to participate in Mental Health Awareness Month in a variety of additional ways:
- Complete a mental health screening.
- Share your story.
- End the stigma.
- Increase knowledge.
- Plug in.
