Membership Assistance Program

The SMART Members Assistance program (MAP) is an education, awareness and membership action program for those dealing with problems associated with mental health issues. Focusing on substance use disorder and suicide prevention, SMART MAP educates union members on those primary issues, as well as employee assistance programs, ethics, confidentiality and self-care practices. 

SMART MAP mentors are compassionate, empathetic and well-respected union members who continue to support their peers when they return to work. 

If you or anyone you know needs assistance, know that SMART members can receive free and confidential assistance through our helpline at (877) 884-6227. 

If you are interested in learning more about SMART MAP, please contact Chris Carlough at ccarlough@smart-union.org
