Anchor Point Member Assistance Program (MAP)

Supporting Mental Wellness in Nova Scotia’s Construction Industry

Anchor Point Member Assistance Program

Construction work comes with unique challenges, both on and off the job. Whether you’re dealing with stress, navigating a legal issue, planning your finances, making a career transition, or simply looking for trusted guidance, Anchor Point is here to help.

Anchor Point is a free Member Assistance Program that gives construction workers and their eligible dependents confidential access to professional support for life’s everyday challenges. From mental health counselling and legal consultations to financial advice, health coaching, nutrition support, and career and life transition services, members can connect with experienced professionals through the secure GreenShield+ (GS+) platform.

The program is available at no cost, easy to access, and completely confidential. Whether you need immediate advice or ongoing support, Anchor Point helps you find the right expertise when you need it most.

Anchor Point is proudly offered through a partnership between Construction Safety Nova Scotia (CSNS) and MERIT Nova Scotia, working together to make professional support more accessible for Nova Scotia’s construction community.
