November: Stress Awareness

The Bricklayers' Member Assistance Program (MAP) recognizes International Stress Awareness Week in support of members who may need help with responding to the pressures of everyday life. While emotional stress is a normal reaction to certain life events or situations, managing it effectively can sometimes present a challenge. If stress is not effectively managed over time, it can have negative impacts on physical health, behavioral health, relationships, and other important areas of one's life. Please contact BAC MAP by calling 1-833-MAP-TALK for stress management support services.
