Plumbers Local 1 Peer Support Group
The Plumbers Local 1 Peer Support Group is a confidential, members-only space where trained Peer Leaders offer support and help connect members to the resources they may need. Peer Leaders listen, guide, and assist members in accessing available mental-health and substance-use benefits, including confidential EAP support, counseling options, and pathways to treatment when necessary. The goal is simple: ensure every Local 1 member has someone to turn to and a clear path to help.
The Plumbers Local 1 Peer Council typically meets from 3:30pm to 5pm on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at the Union Hall. Below is the 2026 Schedule; dates subject to change.
