CUPE Local 813’s E.F.A.P. is there that assist members and there families in a time of need.

This program can put you in touch with the right people to help you on the road to recovery from drug and alcohol dependency, gambling addiction, family and personal matters as well as other events that may be effecting your life and work.

The program offers 5 sessions for members and their families per year. Although this is just be a start, the assistance that the local provides can help.

The only thing that hurts is not getting the assistance one may need. The assistance that the local provides is not a cure all but it is a step in the right direction and sometimes a little direction is all one needs.

There are referral agents that can assist you in contacting the agencies and all information given to the referral agents is held in the most confidence. If you are seeking help, contact one of our referral agents for details and to see if you qualify for this program.
