Help has arrived!!

Posted September 9, 2024

It has been well documented that workers in construction are struggling with mental health challenges along with substance abuse, alcoholism and suicide (construction has the highest rate of suicide). The IUPAT helping hands has created a recovery night for members and their families to attend on Thursday October 3, 2024, in San Leandro @ 5:30pm. Your mental and physical health is our priority, and it should be yours as well. Often, we get caught up in life and forget about taking care of ourselves, which is important to yourself and your family. Come out and join us to get things rolling and move the needle forward towards becoming mentally stronger and starting to control any issues we have and put our struggles behind us. 

Everyone has issues of some sort, and this is a positive way to get them out in the open and start to heal. I look forward to seeing all the people that are interested in bettering their situation. See the attached flier below.
