MAP support groups
MAP offers various free support groups for UFT members in which members can come together to share their experiences, stories and tips and find comfort with each other. You don’t have to struggle alone; others may be dealing with a similar situation. Our support groups run throughout the school year and are held in a confidential space.

If you are in crisis, experiencing distress, need resources or a referral, our counselors are available for UFT members 24 hours a day, seven days a week by phone or text at 1-866-UFT-FOR-U, or by chat on the Helpline webpage.
