ANCHOR POINT Mental Health Support Partnership

Construction Safety Nova Scotia’s Creating Mentally Healthy Workplaces study revealed a critical truth: workplace conditions in the construction industry directly impact employees’ mental health. High stress levels are at the core of many of the industry’s leading mental and physical health challenges.

In response, we’ve partnered together to launch Anchor Point, a new Member Assistance Program (MAP), designed for construction workers who do not have access to employer-sponsored support plans.

This initiative provides FREE, accessible, confidential, and personalized mental health and wellness support through GreenShield Health’s secure platform, GreenShield+ (GS+).
