Peer Support That Protects Members and Strengthens Unions

Union members face unique risks. Construction workers experience suicide rates twice the national average and account for over one in six opioid overdose deaths. Traditional Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are underutilized, leaving too many members unsupported.

The Peer Network delivers confidential, HIPAA-compliant telehealth peer support for union members and their families—available anytime, including outside traditional working hours. This ensures members get help before a crisis, protecting lives, strengthening solidarity, and reducing costs for unions.
