May is Mental Health Awareness month!
The LFA Local 1261 dedicated some time at this month’s May Board meeting to discuss the LiUNA LEAN initiative, focused on making sure that ALL Union members are aware of the resources that are available to them when they’re going through a tough time. Green is the color of Mental Health Awareness, so some members of the Board coordinated green outfits for the day.
DID YOU KNOW…
•44% of teachers report suffering from mental health burnout

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
“Being a part of LIUNA means being part of a family that supports you, no matter what you’re going through. Through the support of LIUNA’s District Councils, Local Unions, health and welfare funds, signatory contractors and other affiliates, we will connect members with lifesaving resources and show that LIUNA truly is a family that looks out for its own.”
— Michael F. Sabitoni, LIUNA General Secretary-Treasurer and LHSFNA Labor Trustee
