International Boost Self-Esteem Month

Self-esteem has to do with how you see yourself. Self-esteem is the foundation - if t's cracked, the whole structure can fall apart. When self-esteem is low, you are at higher risk for depression, poor self-care, abusive relationships, negative health outcomes, and more. 

The Bricklayers' Member Assistance Program (MAP) invites you to put self-esteem on your radar this month. Click here to take a self-esteem screening. Confidentially connect with one of our Department's licensed professionals to further discuss improving self-esteem or anything related to your quality of life and overall wellbeing - we're here to help. You can reach BAC MAP by calling 1-833-MAP-TALK (M-F, 8am-7pm).
