Members Assistance Program (MAP)

Attention All Members

We have had reports lately of members having issues contacting Telus Health (Formerly Lifeworks/Morneau Shepell) for EFAP/support services and the members have been turned away and  advised that Local 488 has no access to benefits.

In order for the call taker / intake worker at Telus Health to positively identify Local 488 members coverage,  the individual must clearly identify that they are UA Local 488 and also identify the connection to the UA Canada Wellness Program.

Please ensure that you are also calling the correct number 1-833-778-2627.

Please note that “Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 488” will not work and you will be turned away.

Thank you,
