The old days of institutions are gone; jails and prisons have proven once again that they’re not the answer. But as

we begin a new round of investments in mental health services sparked by the passage of the 21st Century Cures

Act, are we truly ready to allow each of us to take responsibility for our own mental health, and re-organize our

health, educational, social services, housing, and employment systems to support that effort?

Mental Health America’s 2018 Annual Conference, taking place in Washington, DC June 14-16, 2018 will tackle this

very question – how can we be fit for the future for mental health?

Our Fit for the Future theme will explore what we can do personally as individuals to keep ourselves healthy in the

21st Century – how data and personal narratives are increasingly connecting exercise and nutrition to overall

mental health, and how leaders in the nutrition, sports and fitness fields are using this information to promote

overall health and well-being and the impact it’s had on the mental health of millions.

We will dive into programs that are already making use of cutting edge 21st Century technologies, treatments, and

research – as well as those that will emerge soon to benefit those with mental health needs.

We will offer new tools and techniques that are enabling professionals and peers to launch innovative and

collaborative practices that brighten the future of mental health care for all – including those with serious mental

health concerns.

And we will talk about what we must still do to enact 21st Century policy solutions to support all these efforts – to

demonstrate how designing and implementing effective prevention, early intervention, and recovery-oriented

policies that promote innovation can make a real difference Before Stage 4 – just as we do with every other chronic

disease.

When it comes to mental health, is the United States languishing in the past, or are we fit for the future?

MHA will not settle for the answers of the past in mental health care and treatment.

We believe in taking charge of a brighter future—where there is always hope.

SPECIAL GUESTS FROM PAST ANNUAL CONFERENCES

Mental Health America (MHA) – founded in 1909 – is the

nation's leading community-based nonprofit dedicated to

addressing the needs of those living with mental illness and

to promoting the overall mental health of all Americans. Our

work is driven by our commitment to promote mental health

as a critical part of overall wellness, including prevention

services for all, early identification and intervention for those

at risk, integrated care, services, and supports for those who

need it, with recovery as the goal.

Much of our current work is guided by the Before Stage 4

(B4Stage4) philosophy – that mental health conditions

should be treated long before they reach the most critical

points in the disease process.

ADVERTISEMENTS


SOCIAL MEDIA FRAME

In 2017, MHA's Annual Conference generated 28 million impressions over just 3 days!

Not only would conference attendees be able to use fun decorative frames for their social media posts on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, but your support could be seen by millions.

#SoundsAwesomeRight?

$3,000

CONFERENCE MOBILE APP

$13,000The conference app will be a complete guide to sessions, speakers, events and exhibits.

It will allow attendees to mark their favorite sessions and exhibitors and to exchange contact information, among other things.

ADVERTISEMENTS


WI-FI SPONSORSHIP

If you'd like to literally connect with our attendees, consider being a wi-fi sponsor!

Wireless users will learn about Wi-Fi network in the event brochure and via event signage.

Using a mobile device, iPad, or laptop, a quick search for nearby networks will produce Sponsor’s branded Wi-Fi network name. Next, users will see a “splash page” and/or be redirected to your sponsor’s website. From that point on, they will be able to check personal email and surf the web.

$10,000

CHARGING STATIONS

$6,000 eachIn a technological world dominated by smart devices, battery life has apparently not caught up with the advancement of technology.

So it is very common where by noon, an attendee’s smart device would have run out of juice.

Your support here would be greatly appreciated by conference attendees - and they can keep using their phones to spread the good word!

*Example only. Final design TBD.





GOODIES


LANYARDS

What's more iconic at conferences than the ever-present lanyards?

Every attendee is required to wear a name badge to attend the conference - so turn this opportunity into a walking show of support!

The lanyards will be co-branded between the two organizations and can include Sponsor’s logo in addition to MHA’s.

$5,000

PROMOTIONAL ITEM*

$500Bring your materials straight to our attendees!

All attendees are provided with a complimentary tote bag that is stuffed with helpful resources, advertisements from MHA supporters, and fun promotional items like brain-shaped stress balls.

The sponsors' promotional items will be placed into each attendee’s conference tote bag.

*items may promote educational or advocacy initiatives, but should not promote specific branded mental health treatments.





GOODIES


TOTE BAGS

Tote bags - especially sturdy ones like the bags used for MHA's Annual Conferences - are a trendy reusable item.

From grocery shopping to work travel, conference tote bags are the one thing that most attendees will keep using over and over again.

So, take advantage of the fact that they'll recognize you even as they're grocery shopping!

$5,000

OFFICIAL LATTE SPONSOR

$10,000Attendees love coffee, demonstrated by a rush to get refreshed and recharged between sessions at the Hyatt Regency’s in- house Starbucks location.

Why not treat these passion advocates to a latte by being the exclusive co-branded Starbucks Gift Card sponsor?

Each attendee will receive a $5 Starbucks gift card emblazoned with Sponsor’s logo.

A gift card is a stand out item that recharges our attendees for three days of excitement.

Remember - you could be our attendees' hero.





GOODIES


HOTEL KEYS

After coffee, what is the single most useful item for conference attendees? Their room keys, of course!

How else are they going to get enough rest for three days packed with learning, lunches, and excitement?

All attendees who reserve a room at the Hyatt Regency will receive a branded hotel key card. And last year, MHA's room block sold out!

Don't miss out on this opportunity.

$5,000

WATER BOTTLES

$10,000

Of all the basic necessities humans need to survive, water is probably the most important.

Get your support noticed by our attendees by having your company on water bottles offered throughout the conference - from breakout sessions to hallway refreshments, let your brand be known!

This could be you!

$5,000





GOODIES


NOTEBOOKS & PENS

There you are - in the middle of an exciting lecture and the speaker has said something incredibly profound that you wanted to share later.

But alas! You rummage through your bag and find... nothing to write with.

Come to our attendees' rescue by providing pens and notebooks for our attendees to write down how amazing they think you are for your support.

$5,000

HEADPHONES

Looking to make a big impression with our attendees? Make sure your brand is "fit for the future" by providing headphones that highlight your support.

Music can serve as a form of welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the conference and our attendees would greatly appreciate your support.

$5,000





GOODIES


POWER STICK CHARGERS

Who wants to sit on a wall next to an outlet just to charge their phone?

No one, that's who.

Give our attendees the freedom to roam the conference for hours without having to worry about losing power to their phones, tablets, or laptops by showing your support through power stick chargers!

$5,000
