August 31, 2025: International Overdose Awareness Day

Drug overdose is a leading cause of death in the United States and Canada, and construction workers are affected at even higher rates than average. Fentanyl, a highly lethal synthetic opioid, has significantly worsened the devastation of the opioid and polysubstance crisis, and families and communities have and continue to be left shattered... 

This means that we must keep building momentum around the important cause of educating and advocating for efforts to help save lives; and the BAC Member Assistance Program is ready to support any member or their loved ones who may be at risk for an overdose.

Whether you are experiencing substance use challenges and need information or help; are seeking counseling related to the loss of a loved one due to an overdose; are wanting to learn more about overdose death prevention pathways (such as Naloxone and other harm reduction practices); or would like to further discuss any other aspect of substance use, overdose, or prevention, please contact the BAC Member Assistance Program by calling 1-833-MAP-TALK, M-F, 8am-7pm ET.
