Join Us in Prioritizing Mental Health:
Sign Up for Training Sessions Today!
Updated Nov 6th , 2024
Mental health is as vital to our well-being as physical safety on the job site. At Boilermaker Local 73, we've faced the pain of losing members to mental health struggles, and we recognize that some of our brothers and sisters may still be suffering in silence. Together, we can create a stronger, more supportive community by making mental health a priority.
That's why we’re inviting each and every one of you to join us for a mental health training session. These sessions are designed to provide tools for managing mental health, both personally and in support of fellow members. Taking part isn’t just a benefit to you; it’s a step toward a healthier, more resilient Local 73.
To make it easier and rewarding to participate, we’re offering incentives at each of the nine sessions across Atlantic Canada. Every session will have three $100 prize draws, giving everyone a fair chance to be rewarded for their commitment to mental well-being. Plus, one lucky participant from all sessions combined will win their choice of an Apple or Android Watch.
Session Details
Let’s stand together and make sure no member has to face mental health struggles alone. Sign up today to be a part of the movement for a healthier, more resilient Local 73.
