The Labor Assistance Professionals (LAP), an organization founded in 1990, is dedicated to “Labor Helping Labor.” Recently, 25 labor unions, including the IAM, gathered for their annual conference. More than 450 attendees attended seminars and were trained on different brain disorders, conditions, and other family problems members face.
Members were also able to meet with treatment facilities representatives and discuss what their professionals can do to treat patients. LAP’s mission is to enhance workplace wellness and safety, primarily through the Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) that address substance use, mental health, and family issues for union members and their families.
The organization’s structure, including its 19 national chapters and certification programs, gives EAP members greater education and skills to help their membership.
IAM Retirees and Membership Assistant Coordinator Sean Marcil sees the LAP’s annual conferences as crucial for IAM EAP members for networking, professional development, and connecting with treatment centers, underscoring the organization’s commitment to ensuring quality care for its members.
