WHAT IS THE MAP?

MAP stands for Membership Assistance Program. Your MAP provides you and your family with free and confidential help in dealing with person problems.

WHAT KINDS OF PROBLEMS CAN THE MAP HELP?

Your MAP can help you and your family with most any kind of problem that affects your personal well being and your ability to perform your job. These include marital or family problems, financial or legal difficulties, emotional or stress-related problems, drug or alcohol abuse, or problems related to work. The MAP provides a counselor who can assess the problem and see to it that you or your family member receives the appropriate assistance.

WHY DO WE HAVE THE CARPENTERS' MAP?

You are important to the Brotherhood of Carpenters and your employer. Your personal problems can harm your health, your work, and your family life. The MAP helps members and their families solve these problems before they get worse.

HOW DO I USE THE MAP?

To get help, just call 1-888-MAP-6637. Professional counselors are available all day, every day. Should you need or want to meet with a counselor, a time and place will be scheduled that is convenient for you. Ninety-nine percent of Carpenter members will have a counselor located within twenty-five miles of their home. In most cases, the counselor's office will be much closer than that.

IS THE MAP CONFIDENTIAL?

Confidentiality is one of the most important aspects of the MAP. Be assured that if you or a family members contacts the MAP directly, no one with your employer or union will know unless you tell you them.

WHO PAYS FOR THE MAP?

The MAP is a health benefit provided by the medical plan. It is free to all eligible members and their families. Sometimes, there may be a need for additional professional services and a referral is made to an outside agency. In such cases, the MAP staff will work with you to find services covered by your health insurance or that you can afford.

FOR CONFIDENTIAL HELP CALL: 1-888-MAP-6637

When you call, tell the counselor:

• Your Name
• Member's Social Security Number
• The Type of Problem
• If This Is An Emergency

A counselor will then set a convenient time and place to meet with you and/or your family members.
