What is the Benefit

The Welfare Fund has established a Crisis Intervention Unit to deal with the increase in traumatic episodes such as deaths, illnesses, assaults, etc., at work sites; and to provide Fund members with an empathetic setting to express themselves and deal with these issues. The benefit makes available licensed Social Workers to help members identify better ways of coping with stress at their work sites, and to help members identify their strengths. The Social Workers will also provide referrals for outreach services and information about community resources.
