About the Teamster Center Services Fund
The Teamster Center Services Fund is a labor-management health and welfare fund that provides comprehensive health and welfare benefits to eligible Teamster members and their covered dependents. Like other union-administered health and welfare funds, the Teamster Center Services Fund is designed to provide its members with meaningful health coverage — including behavioral health and mental health benefits — as part of a comprehensive benefits package that recognizes the full scope of members’ health needs.
Mental Health Benefits Under the Teamster Center Services Fund
Mental health benefits available through the Teamster Center Services Fund may include coverage for outpatient mental health counseling and therapy, psychiatric evaluations and medication management, and other medically necessary behavioral health services. Federal mental health parity requirements mandate that mental health benefits under qualifying health plans be provided on terms no more restrictive than comparable medical and surgical benefits, helping to ensure that Teamster members have genuine access to the mental health care they need. The specific details of your coverage — including cost-sharing requirements, network considerations, and any authorization requirements — will depend on the current benefit plan document for the Teamster Center Services Fund. Our admissions team will verify your specific benefits and explain them clearly.
Confidentiality and Seeking Mental Health Support
We recognize that in some workplace cultures, including those in which union membership is central to professional identity, there can be social or cultural barriers to seeking mental health support. We want Teamster members and their families to know that mental health treatment at Guardian Recovery – Princeton Psychiatry & Counseling is completely confidential, governed by strict federal and state privacy laws, and handled with absolute discretion. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, and we are here to support you without judgment.
