Athletes Leading Change in Mental Health.
Through lived experience, research, and advocacy, the Athlete Mental Health Alliance amplifies athlete voices to drive systemic change and build a national plan for mental health in sport.
Your voice has the power to change the game — and we need it in the room on May 13th.
Join us for Advocacy Day, a two-hour virtual event from 1-3pm, bringing together AMHA members, AFH Athlete Ambassadors, legislative experts, and leading mental health organizations for a day of conversation, connection, and action.
This is more than an event. It’s a movement to put athlete mental health at the center of the national conversation — from the high school locker room to the professional arena.

Athletes have lived the pressure. Now they’re shaping the solution.
The Athlete Mental Health Alliance (AMHA) exists to elevate athlete voices and turn lived experience into action—challenging the systems that have too often failed to support mental health in sport.
By bringing together athletes, research, advocacy, and partners, AMHA is working toward a national approach to athlete mental health—one designed with athletes, for athletes, to create lasting change across all levels of sport.
The Athlete Mental Health Alliance (AMHA) amplifies athlete voices to drive meaningful change in how mental health is supported across sport. Centered on lived experience, AMHA brings together athletes, research, advocacy, and partnership to shape a national, athlete-informed approach to mental health—built with athletes, for athletes.
Through collective action, AMHA is working to elevate the athlete voice beyond the field and into policymaking spaces. In 2023, Athletes for Hope hosted its first Athlete Mental Health Advocacy Day at the U.S. Capitol, where athletes shared their stories directly with lawmakers—advancing the vision of a National Athlete Mental Health Bill of Rights and moving closer to mental health protections for all athletes.
