This morning, ATAP staff hosted a networking breakfast with our trusted mental health and substance use providers.
This gathering was more than just a meal—it was an opportunity to strengthen our collaborative relationships and express our heartfelt gratitude. We deeply appreciate the unwavering dedication of our providers, whose tireless efforts continue to make a profound difference in the lives of our members.
Thank you for your commitment, compassion, and partnership.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month
In construction, we are taught to work through the pain, but when it comes to mental health, working through the pain can do more harm.
Whether it is stress, burnout, or something more serious, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Talking to a trusted person, taking a break, or reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
WE ARE HERE TO HELP!

ATAP staff attended Local 252 Glaziers’ Stewards Dinner on March 8th, 2025. This event allows for subsidized income for Local 252 members who are out of work due to a medical issue. It is always an honor to participate in an event that directly benefits union members.

While unions do exceptional work to address the various needs of members, they often lack the resources to assist members struggling with behavioral health issues.

When evaluating members’ needs, are behavioral health issues part of the conversation along with ways to financially assist those in need of treatment?

On March 6, families and loved ones across the United State come together for Black Balloon Day to honor those lost to overdose.
This is a day to remember, bring awareness, and support to those affected by substance use disorder.

What does this mean for the construction industry?
The construction industry is one of the leading industries in the United States in death by accidental overdose. While the perception of addiction is changing within our industry, we continue to lose union members annually to overdose.

Help is just a phone call away! Contact the Allied Trades Assistance Program at (800) 258-6376.

As we reflect on 2024, we would like to thank all our unions and administrators for the ongoing support and collaboration to allow ATAP to continue to offer above industry standard for services related to mental health and substance use. This year ATAP expanded our provision of services with the addition of new locals.
ATAP staff have worked diligently to expand our provider network to ensure timely appointments and quality providers. Our staff have achieved professional goals by obtaining their CEAP certifications along with training related to the EAP and behavioral fields.

This week ATAP is wrapping up training and outreach with time spent with the Ironworkers, ILA and IBEW Local 98. As 2024 comes to an end, we look forward to the projects and services we have lined up for 2025. We would like to wish all a Happy and Health Holiday season!
