2026 Virtual Conference
Men’s Mental Health: Changing the Narrative
Virtual Conference – January 30, 2025
Because we unite for change, we’re continuing the powerful conversations started at our Annual Dinner: Veterans—Changing the Narrative. This virtual event will shine a light on men’s mental health—a topic too often left in the dark.
Men face unique pressures and stigma when it comes to seeking help. By sponsoring this event, you help us break barriers, amplify voices, and connect men and their families to hope and healing.
Sponsorships and ads are available at great rates—a meaningful way to support this important dialogue and keep the momentum going from our Annual Dinner.
If you missed the dual sponsorship offer for both events, this is your chance to get involved! Sponsorships and ads are available at great rates—and your support helps bring this important conversation to the forefront.
Together, we can change the narrative.
Online Screenings: Test Your Mental Health
Do you not “feel like yourself?” Are you going through some difficult life changes? Have you noticed shifts in your feelings, thoughts or behaviors? Take the mental health screening below to find out if you should seek additional support.
National MHA's screening tool currently hosts 9 screens: Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, PTSD, Alcohol and Substance use, a Youth and Parent screen, a Work Health Survey, and a Psychosis screen. Your score does not indicate that you have one of these diagnoses, simply that you may have some of the uncomfortable feelings associated with the disorders.
Once you have taken the screening and received your score, return to the MHA-SWPA website for additional resources.
Next steps following your screening:
If you or someone you know is in crisis now, seek help immediately. Please refer to our HOW TO GET HELP page for local and regional resources or dial 911 for immediate assistance.
