Starting 2025 Off on the Right Foot

What do you hope to accomplish in 2025? In recent years, improving mental health and wellbeing has become an increasingly popular resolution due to increased awareness and education, as well as the need to address the impact of rising societal and environmental stress.

The BAC Member Assistance Program (MAP) has several questions about mental health and wellbeing to ask yourself that can empower you to take control and create a blueprint for a strong and positive year ahead:

+ What has been weighing on you lately?

+ Is there anything you have been avoiding or delaying dealing with?

+ If there was something you needed help or support with, what would it be?

+ What strengths or skills have helped you overcome challenges in the past?

+ How would your life look different if you resolved some of your greatest challenges?

+ What could help improve your overall wellbeing?

+ What can be done to put you at greater ease/reduce stress in your life?

+ What are three specific actions you can take that would help you move closer to your ideal mental state?

Mental health challenges are common and ignoring them may only prolong and worsen distress. Knowing that it’s “okay to not be okay” can lead people to seek help and stop self-shaming. MAP is here when you feel ready to tackle matters that may be negatively affecting you and creating difficulty on or off the jobsite.

MAP works with members and their loved ones who may be experiencing challenges with mood and depression, anxiety, substance or alcohol use, chronic stress, isolation or loneliness, anger management, family or social hardship, hopelessness, and more.
